SKA and two-tone band Bad Manners are coming to Southend as part of their winter tour.

Fronted by larger than life vocalist Buster Bloodvessel, the novelty ska favourites will be bringing their on-stage antics and catalogue of hits to Chinnery's in Southend seafront.

The band rose to prominence during the late 1970s' ska revival movement and quickly gained early exposure through 2-Tone Records tours and an appearance in the live documentary Dance Craze.

They were at their height in the 1980s with a string of UK hits behind them including Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu, Lip Up Fatty, Special Brew and Can Can, spending111 weeks in the UK singles Chart between 1980 and 1983.

Bad Manners will be at Chinnerys on Southend seafront, on Thursday December 15.

Tickets are £25.50 from seetickets.com
