We are delighted to announce that Watford's finest - The Spitfires have been added to The Dead 60s London show at The Electric Ballroom on 13th April 2017 (part of The London Intl Ska Festival).

Taking influences from The Clash, Billy Bragg, The Jam through to Soul, Reggae and Ska - the band have released 2 albums since 2015. "A Thousand Times' was the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut "Response' which saw the band enter high in the UK Album Charts and reach #6 in both the independent and vinyl charts, with the single "So Long' charting at #1 in UK Vinyl Singles Chart.

Their work ethic and powerful song-writing mixed with their acute social commentary and lack of mainstream industry support has made this fiercely independent band one of the most popular underground success stories in the UK today. This DIY attitude and independent spirit has earned them a dedicated following and sold out shows across the whole of the UK and Europe.

Don't just take our word for it though...
