new years eve party @ temperance | live music from Ska Train
About this Event
Welcome to the house of fun!
We are inviting all our friends to join us to help celebrate new year in style. Ska style.
Live music from Temperance favourites, Ska Train, who will be joined on stage by a selection of musical guests. Regulars here will know Ska Train as a quality seven-piece tribute band, hailing from Coventry, the birthplace of 2-Tone.
The band’s line-up includes a wealth of highly experienced musicians including a fabulous horn section with trombone and saxophone. They play many of the iconic 2-Tone classics and original Jamaican ska tunes. Featuring songs from Madness, The Specials, The Beat, The Selector, Bad Manners and many others.
We will be creating a dancefloor by moving many of the chairs in our basement room and there will also be a live DJ until late. Come start to move your feet!
Dress in your finest 2-Tone outfits.
We will be serving cocktails from 7pm. We will provide some Indian snacks and the bar will stay open until 1am. One step beyond...

Ska Train celebrate the UK ska revival of the late 1970’s and early 80’s, a movement pioneered by Jerry Dammers’ iconic 2-Tone record label, and which included bands like The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners and The Selecter. The band’s seven-piece line-up includes spine-tingling horns (trombone and sax) and a rock-solid rhythm section, with guitar, keys and vocals that will transport you back to an explosive musical era of punk, politics and messages of peace.
Since 2023 Ska Train have established a record-breaking run of sold-out dates at Leamington’s award-winning Temperance Music Bar, have supported US ska-punk band Monkey on their UK tour, have played live on stage with former members of The Specials, and have headlined festivals including the Congleton Jazz and Blues Festival.
So if you’ve ever set sail in a Night Boat To Cairo, gazed at your Mirror In The Bathroom, or simply done Too Much Too Young, get on board the Ska Train now for an unforgettable live musical journey that will truly take you One Step Beyond...
