SYMARIP (also known at various stages of their career as The Bees, The Pyramids, Seven Letters and Zubaba) were a ska and reggae band from the United Kingdom, originating in the late 1960s.
Consisting of members of West Indian descent, Symarip is widely marked as one of the original skinhead bands, being one of the first to target skinheads as an audience.
Their style of music became known as skinhead reggae, and their hits included "Skinhead Moonstomp", "Skinhead Girl" and "Skinhead Jamboree".
In 1980, the album Skinhead Moonstomp was re-issued in the wake of the 2 Tone craze, hitting the UK pop charts for the first time.
Lead singer Roy Ellis and Hammond organ/keyboard player Monty Neysmith are back on the road with a new backing band playing all the old favourites.



FOXY'S RUTS came about through Buster Bloodvessel asking the late Paul Fox (1951-2007) to put a band together to play at BADFEST in 2006.
First of all Paul recruited his eldest son Lawrence Fox on drums and he actually plays Dave Ruffy's original gretsch drum kit with the band. Then an old friend who runs CLUB SKA and long time RUTS fan Geno Blue was brought in on bass, now all that was required was someone with personality and big bollox to front the band. Paul had heard of a RUTS tribute band inYorkshire called SAVAGE CIRCLE. He decided to check them out and that's where he found the great manic talents of Mr.Mark Paul. Now with a band ready for the road they did a couple of warm up gigs then onto BADFEST, which was a roaring success. [James Whale who compared the show said that the band stole the show].After such a great start the band were then asked to tour with BAD MANNERS on their Christmas tour of the U.K. and Europe. The tour was a great success with the highlight being the MELKWEG in Amsterdam. Recent gigs also include PUNK and DISORDERLY festival in Berlin.

Although Paul sadly passed away last year, the band decided to stay together and continue playing the music that made/makes The Ruts one of the most respected Punk Reggae bands from the ‘80s.

PRESENT ARMS, from Dublin’s North Side, play good old fashioned Ska/Reggae which can be compared to the music from the 2Tone era with a bit of UB40 thrown into the mix.
They’ve been doing the rounds for some years now and have supported the likes of Neville Staples, Smoke Like a Fish and Skavile UK.
