THE ULTIMATE SKA PARTY !
SATURDAY 23rd AUGUST 2025
Bad Manners, featuring vocalist Buster Bloodvessel, were at the forefront of the ska revival movement in England in the late '70s. They quickly became the novelty favourites of the fad through their bald, enormous-bodied frontman's silly on-stage antics, earning early exposure through 2-Tone Records package tours and an appearance in the live documentary Dance Craze. In the early '80s, they had many U.K. hits including "Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu," "Lip Up Fatty," "Special Brew," and "Can Can." By the mid-'80s, the ska craze was over but the band have been on tour ever since, making people dance all over the world. Now in their 50th year and no signs of stopping, Buster and the Bad Manners boys can regularly be found touring across the UK, Europe, Central,South & North America, Japan, New Zealand & Australia.
Get your boots on, it’s time to party Bad Manners style

Buster Shuffle burst onto the scene 10 years ago with the sole purpose of
entertaining and bringing their raucous tunes to beer wielding audiences, seamlessly
straddling the ska, punk and rock and roll genres. With song writing craftsmanship at
the core, tunes about drunken arguments, crafty cats, anti-social night buses, dirty
older women and messy divorces emerged in their ambitious debut album Our
Night Out, grabbing the attention of the music press UNCUT magazine giving the
boys 4/5 stars plus raving reviews from The Guardian and The Mirror. Over the past 10 years BS have become one of the UK’s most formidable Ska Punk bands to emerge.
