And just like that the Melbourne Ska Orchestra turns 20 Years Young. From the fun loving humble beginnings in St. Kilda to the international stages of Glastonbury, Istanbul, Montreal, Edinburgh, New York and beyond, the band has steered their ramshackle train into the hearts of many. Initially formed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the birth of Ska (1963-2003), their infectious energy soon earned them a coveted slot at Bluesfest and WOMADelaide, a recording contract and accolades from all over the world. Two ARIA awards cemented their reputation as one of Australia's best live acts, while three of their songs were chosen for a UK feature film about Ska.
