Laurel Aitken
at Club Ska
Released on 16 February
2004. -
The Godfather of Ska Laurel Aitken – need we say
more. Ok we don't really care for live albums but Laurel is the man,
has entertained since the 50's. He's paid his due, and over again,
so stand up, jump back, and feel this. If you weren't at this gig,
there's a fair chance that you were at a previous one o this album
will take you there.
Any actually it's not a bad album at all. Less
frantic than you might expect, yes some of it is fast paced but it's
all full of clarity and full of good vibes and good fun, from the
every early Boogie in my Bones right through. The humor of Bartender
and Sally Brown, skinhead anthems, and old R'n'B.
Good fun indeed.

Laurel Aitken's forte has always been live
performance - fabulous singing- fantastic rapport with his
audience- driving his band to a different level - expressions of
his love and humanity. Yet - in a performance life spanning the
50s to date- Laurel has never released a live album - until now!
Club Ska- as London's premier venue for live ska performance
re-united Laurel with his old friend Rica (from The Specials and
Jools Holland) for a very special show in 2002 to record a set
that presents Laurel at his very best. It worked - the show was
fantastic- the recording superb and the result is an album that
Laurel himself recommends to you!
