Melbourne Ska Orchestra’s legendary stage performances, incorporating a 15 piece horn troupe, fronted by Nicky Bomba (of John Butler Trio fame).
In 2003 a world-record attempt to have the largest number of horn players on stage at the same time playing the ska-skank saw a slew of musicians take the stage at St Kilda’s (Melbourne Australia) Gershwin Room, and although nobody remembered to check if the record had actually been set, from this sold-out performance the Melbourne Ska Orchestra was born.
