We need a performance space of at least 8 meters x 5 meters. We require 2 x 13 amp power sockets and 3 parking spaces.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
"Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig."
"Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music."
We performed for the England's football team. It was amazing to entertain the girls and we almost felt like part of the team!"
"We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite!
The band started out by playing small gigs at local bars and college parties, gradually gaining a following with their infectious melodies and catchy hooks.
Ska music has been a big influence in forming the band. Drawing heavily from musical traditions such as mento and calypso. Artists like Laurel Aitken, Prince Buster, and The Skatalites played a significant role in shaping Last Train!
"We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best."
"We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area."
"We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them."
"Wow, Last Train to Skaville absolutely nailed it! Their energy was infectious, and they had everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. The way they interacted with the crowd and played off our energy was incredible. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had, and we couldn't be happier with their performance."
