Grammy Award–winning musician and songwriter, best known for his work with Bad Manners and The Selecter!
King Hammond, the stage name of the legendary Nick Welsh, is more than just a musician — he’s a true ska institution. With roots firmly planted in the iconic 2 Tone era, where he made his mark as the bass powerhouse behind The Selecter, Welsh brings a legacy of pure ska energy and crowd-loving performance to every stage he steps on.
From 2 Tone Pioneer to Ska Powerhouse
After helping to define a generation’s sound with The Selecter (On My Radio, Three Minute Hero), recording three albums with Bad Manners, and penning the global hit This Is Ska, Nick Welsh launched his solo project King Hammond — a vibrant celebration of the best in classic ska, rocksteady, and reggae.
His shows are not about nostalgia, but about keeping the spirit alive: lively, modern performances filled with timeless rhythms that get every crowd moving.
He’ll be joined by Remco “Faya” Korporaal and his acclaimed Amsterdam Faya Allstars, delivering a top-tier ska experience. King Hammond and Remco go way back — sharing stages over the years with Bad Manners, The Selecter, and Mr. Review — and now they’re reuniting to bring that legendary energy back to life!
Record selector Charley Rhythm makes sute the dancefloor will be filled between 23:00-01:00 Hrs with his choice of (60's-80's) SKA, Rock Steady and the likes!
