Festive ska comes to Clitheroe as Baked A La Ska hit St Mary’s Centre

Ribble Valley Jazz and Blues will bring Manchester’s much-loved ska collective Baked A La Ska to Clitheroe later this month.

The band, known for their eccentric performances and feel-good “heavy heavy sound”, play St Mary’s Centre on Saturday, December 20, as part of their Ska of Wonder Christmas tour.

The show celebrates the release of their festive album and will feature seasonal ska reworks including When You Wish Upon a Ska, Walking in the Air, We Three Kings and Harmonica for Christmas.

Baked A La Ska – described by national press as “utterly bonkers but irresistible” and “retro-hip enough for the cool kids yet granny can dance to it too” – have built a reputation for high-energy live shows, blending vintage ska with playful covers and big-band humour.

Tickets are £22 for adults and £10 for under-16s. Some may be available on the door, but organisers recommend booking in advance via Ribble Valley Jazz and Blues.
