Ska and reggae tribute show by The DekkerTones, with vocals from Tina Dawes and Mick Summerville, at MK11 in Kiln Farm.
The Dekkertones play MK11 on Tuesday 29 December, from 20:00 to 23:00. It's a UK-based eight-piece ska and reggae band, and they describe themselves as one of the most authentic tributes to the sounds of ska in the country. The set runs from the 1960s to the 1980s, drawing on the 2-Tone, Trojan, Crab, Blue Beat and Studio One labels, and paying homage to names like The Skatalites, The Specials, Desmond Dekker and Madness.
On stage, they're fronted by Tina Dawes and Mick Summerville on vocals, with a three-piece horn section and a rock-solid backline. The repertoire covers a fair bit of ground, from slow and fast dance music — ska, reggae, boss reggae, lovers rock and rock steady. They've been touring since 2013, playing packed audiences across the UK and Europe, and they've shared bills with many of the acts they cover.
