Ska Street 3MDR

04/07/2025

Tomorrow at 2pm on Ska Street 3MDR we will be celebrating Monkey Ska day! That means for just one day, I will only be playing ska that has something to do with monkeys! I promise this is not just going to be Monkey Man on repeat for two hours; this is going to be all the best monkey-filled ska songs stretching back to the early days of ska. All credit goes to Adam Timms for the monkey ska concept. I had a lot of fun putting this playlist together!

You can listen via the Community Radio Plus app, or you can listen to podcasts of the show anytime via the 3MDR 97.1 FM website at https://www.3mdr.com/podcast/ska-street/
