Pop on the pork pie, power up the Lambretta, pull on the Doc Martens and get ready to pogo and skank all night long as Whitehaven is being treated to an all day festival.

The Mod Ska Punk all-dayer is a festival celebrating the best of British pop sub-cultures. Held at the Whitehaven Civic Hall on 28 August the event promises to be a nostalgic phenomenon harking back to the wild days of the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. Featuring some of the best cover bands the genre has to offer, this cultural showcase is not to be missed.

Acts lighting up the stadium include Small Weller, a tribute to the majestic mod hero, The Clashed, playing the London punk legends best known hits and Ska bands: The Skarsoles and Pork Pie.

Small Weller is an Urmston based indie quartet covering all the top hits from Paul Weller and The Jam. The Clashed are a group of idealistic rebellious punk rockers from Northolt in London. The group has toured the UK for years offering up their unique and true-to-life covers from Britain’s best loved punk act The Clash.

Local bad-boys The Scumbrian’s will also be shredding up the stage in Whitehaven with their in-your-face mix of no messing Cumbrian punk. Helping the event simmer down are Boutique Boogaloo who will bring a medley of Northern Soul, Ska, Motown and 60’s classics to The Copeland.

Organisers at the All-Dayer are also offering party-goers a Northern Soul Room upstairs at the venue showcasing the best of the underground 60’s mod scene.
