Nutty ska train

On Saturday 28th March organisers of the very popular March of the Mods event will be aiming to break the world record for the world’s longest Nutty Ska Train dance, popularised by the band Madness.

Organisers are hoping up to 500 people will line-up to ska dance along Ryde Seafront beating the current unofficial record of 423. It’s all to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust and Tonic Music for mental health.

As part of a national event that runs every weekend in March, the Isle of Wight leg is the only one that does an actual march going from venue to venue with DJs and live music at each.

On hundred per cent of all donations money goes directly to the charity as all the artists play for free, with over £26,500 raised on the Isle of Wight so far and £600,000 nationwide.
