Formed in 2003 Melbourne Ska Orchestra is an orchestra with a difference. Comprising up to 26 members this juggernaut contains some of Australia’s finest musicians and performers. Helmed by the energetic and charismatic Nicky Bomba (John Butler Trio, Bomba, Bustamento) Melbourne Ska Orchestra are more than just a band, they are an experience to behold.
Joining the festivities is Ward Hancock, whose expansive career that has taken him all over Australia and the world, playing and producing in countries like Jamaica, Canada, East-Timor and Indonesia. Ward’s music drifts effortlessly through reggae, soul and blues – and backed by some of Darwin’s best musicians – his live show is as smooth as it is groove-driven.
