It was a smörgåsbord of Ska and Reggae, last night!  We heard a few tracks from my Top 10 albums of the year list; some classic Sublime along with some of the legacy tracks, including the new song from Sublime with Rome; new music from MU 330′s Dan P, and Streetlight’s Toh Kay; and the show was finally set aflame by a scorching extended set of Studio One and Trojan sides.  Something for everyone!
