"The band's stage presence is undeniable - the obvious thrill they get from performing is infectious."


"To close the festival, Ska Daddy played one of their best gigs yet, breathing excitement and life into familiar tunes and turning the Cornhill market into one vast house of fun. The dance floor was heaving with people really going for it and clearly keen to squeeze the last drops of fun from the festival."

"The band's apparent mixture of modesty and bravado gets me every time. On the one hand, the front-man's tough-guy stage persona presents an entertaining hell-raising image. On the other you get the impression the band are almost surprised at their own popularity and are chuffed to bits with the response they get from an enthusiastic audience."

"They were the highlight of this year's festival for me but Ska Daddy didn't even make it onto the programme. Still the lack of publicity did not seem to do the band any harm as the courtyard at the Art Space in John St was absolutely heaving with barely enough space to bop in."


"They are fronted by guy whose charisma, stage presence and skill on the squeeze box more than makes up for the fact that he doesn't actually do much singing."
"During the Ska Daddy Christmas gig, so many people were dancing that there was concern about the state of the floor."
"Ska Daddy took the place by storm to the end of the night. Filling the entire venue with their fat horn sound they got the entire crowd moving in some form or another. "
"Their blistering set was over all too quickly, despite the constant calls of encore and eager shuffling of feet. There would have been dancing on the ceiling if gravity allowed it!"
