The Bighead

The Bighead play York House Centre on Saturday 5 December, their only Milton Keynes date this autumn. They're a Northampton-based band, which puts them just down the road from here, and they've been playing since 2009 when songwriter Mark Da Costa first put them together. Since then, they've spent more than a decade taking their blend of roots reggae and ska to audiences across the UK and Europe.

They've shared stages with some of the biggest names from the original 2-Tone scene, including The Beat, The Selecter and Bad Manners, and played a show with Madness at Northampton's County Cricket Ground. They release through the independent label Heavy Product, and have put out three albums and a single, building a strong following on the Berlin reggae scene along the way. The set is for ages 18 and over, and dancing is encouraged.

It's at York House Centre on London Road in Stony Stratford, MK11 1JQ. Doors open at 8:00pm, with the music starting at 9:30pm. Tickets are £10 plus a £1 booking fee, so £11 in total.
