London Ska and Rock steady - Camden

Another great night with two favourites at the club.
Bands: The Activators, The Reggulaters
DJs: One Dropper, Dapper Dad (Bam Bam)

The Activators are a 10-piece band whose eclectic style transcends Ska, Reggae, Celtic, Punk, 60s Garage and Dub, even venturing into Baltic folk and Bossanova. Since formation, the group has stacked up rave reviews and have received the thumbs-up from such diverse entities as the Strummerville Organisation to Bez (Happy Mondays). This recognition has been replicated on the live scene, with an acclaimed 2011 Isle of Wight Festival appearance along with Guilfest Main Stage and Strummer Of Love Festival performances further enhancing their reputation.
OMH reviewed their Guilfest performance as 'The best of the day' and This Festival Feeling enthused that 'The highlight of the day was definitely The Activators – whose set of reggae/ ska tinged punk was more like a party than a gig.'
Their energy, style and liking for utter mayhem has led to them becoming regulars on the festival circuit in the UK and in Europe. 2012 saw them tour extensively from Newcastle to Taunton, from Manchester to Camden and beyond sharing the stage with a range of 'greats' from Jimmy Cliff, The Beat, Olly Murs, The Dub Pistols and Bruce Foxton to name but a few. Recent international slots have included headlining festivals in Italy and Iceland.
The Activators' line-up includes the world-renowned percussionist and producer Pablo Cook, formerly of Joe Strummer and the Mescalero's, Pulp, Moby and Lily Allen fame. Pablo adds quality percussive grooves to the band's mix of highly original tunes.
