Formed by Lee Thompson, saxophonist for Madness, the Ska Orchestra was designed with the aims to entertain and celebrate reggae and ska. The group was pulled together in 2011 with the help of Madness bassist Mark Bedford.
Quite simply, the Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra was purpose built for festivals, with an always changing line-up bringing sunshine vibes on every stage they step on. In 2013, the band released their debut album, The Benevolence Of Sister Mary Ignatius, and marked the occasion with a UK tour and a performance on Later... with Jools Holland.
At the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony, you may have seen Lee suspended in mid-air in a kilt with sax in hand. While we can鈥檛 promise that for Worthy Farm, we鈥檙e sure the levels of entertainment will run it pretty close.
