    £24 quid to see a legend and have a night to remember… thats the same price as 5 punctures at a fiver per tube.

    What would you rather have?

    When you are old and boring your grandchildren…

    ” I once danced so much to a chap called Toots and his pals the Maytals that my legs fell off and danced off down the road without me. I had to arm dance my way home that night”.

    OR…
    “I once sat on a cold wet hill five times and fixed flats”
    “What’s a flat grand dad?”
    “its something cyclists used to do when they were too tight to to go to a gig”
    “What’s a cyclist gramps?”
    “An ancient order of mishappen gentlemen who silently travelled the land on mechanical horses seeking pies and ale”
    “grand dad are you completely *ucking mental?”

    Come on…. easy choice.

    I wish it was Toots and the Maytals, not just Toots by himself. Like when I went to see the Twinkle Brothers and it turned out to be just the one Brother. Anyways, Toots puts on an amazing live show and has still got THE voice.

    £24 pricey? Be glad it isn’t Dublin, it’d be more like 70 Euro over here.

    It’ll be an awesome jumping night…

    Saw the Skatalites a few years ago in Inverness and it was one of the best nights music ever, quality showmanship and playing.

    Wish I was closer..

    Talented chaps but wimpy single speeders if their hit “”54-46 That’s My Number”” is anything to go by

    Always loved toots and the maytals. Used to drink in a punk/skinhead/hippie pub in canterbury, toots was pretty much all they would ever agree to play.

    Well max romeo and occasionally steel pulse 🙂
