| Welcome to ‘ CARE IN THE COMMUNICATORS ’
He was in the pub about seven thirty, painfully listening to Kylie & Robbie on the jukebox, but that sound doesn’t dampen his smile!
As Mitch looks back on a time when music was more than ‘skinny tarts and men wiv squeakier voices than the birds’!
He thinks to himself ‘wot happened to his beloved 2-Tone/Ska’ ??
As he scans the pub he is reassured by Divine madness & More Specials on the juke box, and as he invests a quid in that juke box, The Prince belts out people come alive, Mitch Thinks I know, I will revive the sound of a thousand head butts, so -
As you can see we’ve gotta a new recruit to this land of hope and glory hand behind backs and legs apart and tell us all your unfortunate story
The story so far
The Communicators are a 10-piece cake of disaster with more strange ingredients than you could stomach without that rock steady beat!
Playing a mix of Covers & originals ranging from the original Jamaican Ska scene, through to the legendary 2-Tone era of the 70’s & 80’s right up to present day punk/Ska crossover tunes by bands such as Reel Big Fish & No Doubt!
