Step into the lively world of The Ska Man, a captivating persona brought to life by none other than Gareth Severn, a seasoned tribute artist and performer with an impressive track record spanning over a quarter of a century. Rewind to the late months of 2013, and find Gareth at a crossroads in his illustrious career. After years of embodying various iconic figures, he found himself craving a fresh avenue for his artistic expression, one that would harmonise seamlessly with his personal musical passions. And so, in 2014, The Ska Man was birthed into existence.
Nurtured and crafted on the enchanting island of Cyprus, this show has ventured far beyond its Mediterranean birthplace. Its melodies have danced across both the Northern and Southern regions of the island, serenading countless holidaymakers eager for an unforgettable sonic experience. From its humble beginnings as a mere 45-minute spectacle, The Ska Man's performance has evolved into a breathtaking 2-hour odyssey. The transformation isn't limited to the musical realm alone; a comprehensive production now graces the stage, complete with top-tier professional sound equipment, mesmerising lighting displays, captivating backdrops, and seamless costume changes that keep the audience hooked in a state of perpetual awe.
Gareth Severn, the maestro behind the vibrant persona, boasts a career characterised by dedication and heartfelt commitment. Hailing from the city of Nottingham in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom, Gareth's journey has been a testament to his passion for music and entertainment. Beyond the spotlight, he leads a fulfilling life as a devoted husband and father. The sun-soaked embrace of Cyprus is where he currently calls home, allowing him to nurture his unwavering connection to music. A dual role awaits him on the sonic frontier; not only does he enrapture audiences as a performer, but he also takes to the digital airwaves as a charismatic radio presenter for Boot Boy Radio.
Yet, The Ska Man's multifaceted persona doesn't end there. Gareth Severn, the embodiment of this charismatic character, also serves as a presenter on Boot Boy Radio. Positioned as a stalwart among internet radio stations, Boot Boy Radio unfurls a symphonic tapestry of Ska, Reggae, Rocksteady, and 2-tone.
