I’m Des, and for the last ten years I have been the administrator of the Facebook fanpage “Fans Of The Hotknives” and to celebrate ten years of the fanpage I have released a triple CD of outstanding tracks from over 50 of the best bands on the worldwide ska scene. 63 tracks of Proper Ska! This is a charity release that will raise funds for Specialized and their work with the Teenage Cancer Trust and Shekinah, the homeless charity that I work for.
We have a whole host of outstanding bands contributing… Here’s just a few of the 63 involved – The Hotknives, The Riffs, The Rough Kutz, Intensified, New Tonic, Too Hot, Skaos, Mark Foggo’s Skasters, Arthur Kay, Maroon Town, The Skapones, Mr Review, Smoke & Mirrors Soundsystem, Amsterdam Faya Allstars, The Mighty Offbeats and Eastern Standard Time.
If you live in the UK, the cost of the triple album including postage is £28. Profits go to the two aforementioned charities.
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. Cheers, Des.
