Maximum Ska action from The BiG. 6 years, 4 albums have earned The BiG a reputation as the most innovative and energetic Ska band in the U.K. Whether you're skankin', listening (or just watching!) you'll leave the shows with a tune in your head, always wanting more. The brand new double album "Whatever Makes You Happy" (Summer 2006) has top notch Ska and Reggae but reveals a versatile band successfully delving into many more genres to produce a truly unique release. Last year's 140-date tour of festivals and venues saw The BiG supporting The Stranglers, The Beat, The Damned, The Buzzcocks, Neville Staple (The Specials), Desmond Dekker, The Skatalites, Bad Manners, The Selecter, Electric 6, Alabama 3 and Dreadzone. This is one of the best SKA acts around!

Mumrah Formed in 2000. This six-piece has taken the best bits of Madness, Mad Caddies, Frank Zappa and The Beach Boys and done unspeakable things with them. The result is a heavy, yet gloriously melodic, upbeat yet extremely pessimistic punch in the brain.
To borrow a term once used to describe underground heroes Cardiacs, Mumrah play what could be loosely-called ‘pronk’: progressive punk. They’ve taken their frenetic live show all over London, around England and beyond, picking up a bunch of strays and stragglers on the way, affectionately referred to as ‘the fans’. This loyal following have lapped up the band’s latest EP, ‘Huzzah!’, with some elevating it to the point of daily mantra.
Mumrah don’t want to scrounge off the state anymore. They want to record fantastic, EXCITING albums and tour wherever possible, inspiring some to dance, some to yelp and some to fall over.
