'Oxford's Skatalites' play their annual Jericho street fair show in the garden of the Harcourt. Be on time or you won't get in! Invariably at full capacity!The Nine Ton Peanuts play a mix of old school ska, boogie and rhythm n blues.
Their set is almost entirely original compostions by band leader Sir Bald Diddley, whose music has also recently featured in 'Stranger Things' on TV!
Over nearly 20 years The Nine Tons have performed across the UK (100 Club, Jazz Cafe etc.) and Europe, including Freedom Sounds Festival (Germany) and Dance Ska La (France). They have supported The Skatalites and Toots and the Maytals no less.
They have released a clutch of much sought after 45s and two albums 'Drop Some Leg' and 'Pieces Of Eight'.
