We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Ska Film Nearing Finish Line

Update #12 · Apr 15, 2012 · comment

Thanks for supporting our first Legends of Ska Kickstarter campaign a year ago.  Though that one did not reach it's financial goal, many people (like you) were turned on to the project and I hope you will join us in the winner's circle!

Great progress has been made on the Legends of Ska film over the last few months and it will be completed sometime this year! Here is a link to our most recent trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RmiO_JeL9U&feature=colike

For regular weekly updates, please visit us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/legendsofska & remember to "Like" the film!

Thanks again for your generous support and hope to meet you in person at a film festival somewhere in 2012 or 2013. Happy Days!

    All the above AND drumroll please...... travel to Kingston, Jamaica in early summer 2011. You get down there and I'll cover the rest. We will tour "Beat Street" and visit original Sound System Dancehall sites while lodging at the low key Prestige Hotel. You will meet Ska legends Derrick Morgan, Stranger Cole and King Stitt as well as spend a night out in the country at the home of the great balladeer, Lord Creator. Cap off the week by chilling out in Negril for a couple days before returning to your home a changed person.
