At that time, ska's main fan base were skinheads, and some of them were just out to cause trouble. Most fans weren't like that. It was just a minority spoiling it for everyone else. We don't see much of that now, thank God! I guess they were rougher times (a lot of unemployment etc),

Were you around for the old gigs??
Cool! Sounds good though apart from the skinheads. My mates in england now and he said he's bought lots of ska cds so i acant wait to listen to them when he gets back. And im goin to america soon any suggestions of cds i might like to get. They're a bitch to get here.
