The ska will be shining brightly over Band on the Wall this December, so bring your skanking shoes to another ska-themed Christmas party hosted by Baked A La Ska. One of Manchester’s finest Christmas themed musical punners, the ska band have made an annual pilgrimage to the venue to spread their reggae-fused brand of seasonal goodwill. These days, the eleven wise music men can pull crackers from an extensive Yuletide repertoire of their own inventions and skanking-friendly remakes of festive classics, including tracks from 2015’s Ska of Wonder album such as ‘Klezmas’, ‘Zat You, Santa Claus’ and ‘Jingle Dread’.

Thu 22 Dec, Band on the Wall, 25 Swan Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M4 5JZ, Tel: 0161 834 1786, 7.30pm, £10-£14, www.bandonthewall.org
