SETLISTS
The Ska Man International prides himself on the vast repertoire of songs that he can perform. Having this amount of songs readily available means that he can switch the tempo of the show-up and down to suit every type of audience. Whether it be a working men's club with a mixed audience of people, not necessarily ska fans, or a Ska festival full of purists, the Ska Man has songs to suit them all. The Ska Man is not an act to just turn up and sing the same songs each and every time (Unless asked of course), he likes to keep his shows constantly fresh by swapping and changing it around and add new songs as and when available.
