Gringo Ska

IN A FUNKY JAZZY STYLE

About Me

Somerset Party Massive rocks massive Somerset parties! Including every Glastonbury festival since we began ......Since way back in the last century, Gringos have bent over backwards to lift the knees of audiences in many a muddy field, backroom bar, backstage shenanigans, dodgy wedding, overexcited party etc...... What have we done? if you know, please let us know. Sorry if we kept you awake. Otherwise, we apologise in advance. Finest hour? driving back from the pub on Sherkin Island with no headlights, side door or even seats in the car ..... Lowest ebb? waking up in the sea. At low tide. Gringo Ska Live
