Joe is going to ‘host a show’ with three of Ireland’s leading acts; The Bionic Rats, After The Ibis and The Skalps joining him with live sets for the celebrations. All three acts have released critically acclaimed original recordings which have featured heavily on Joe’s show over the years.

This show is the first in a series of nights planned, with each one being recorded and eventually released on all formats as a ‘best of’ Irish reggae and ska compilation album featuring all of the artists who contribute to the small but healthy Irish reggae and ska scene.

Ska Patrol, the award winning radio show has been broadcasting from Northside Dublin’s community radio station Near FM since Dec 1999.
