Ska Train was formed in early 2023 in Coventry, the home of 2 Tone music, by drummer and Midlands rudeboy Lee Baylis. Lee was quickly joined by seasoned frontman Mike Took (vocals), the amazing Nathan Howard (bass), a truly fabulous horn section featuring Bill Gibbon (sax) and Nik McKiernan (trombone), and the highly talented Neil Craythorne (guitar and backing vocals). Ska Train’s set-list is a blend of fabulous 2-Tone classics (Madness, The Specials, Bad Manners, The Beat, The Selecter, etc) and original Jamaican ska tunes, peppered with the occasional curve-ball song choice to delight audiences of any age and musical interest. Ska Train made their live debut playing a full set at the iconic 2-Tone Village in Coventry, and have gone on to play sold-out shows across the Midlands. In March '24 they performed a one-off show with very special guest trumpeter Jon Read (ex-Specials).
