Ska for the Skeptical Strange to think there are kids who only know recent “ska” bands and, somtimes quite justifiably, have written the whole thing off as a bit crap. This site digs deeps and puts the record straight.

About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.
Pete Ashton
The other way around is strange, too – the ones who only like the new stuff, and hate the real stuff.
This happened to me after unsuccessfully begging my pals to listen to Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, etc, only for them to come at me a few years later with The Commitments, telling me how great it was.
