King L, Free Entry, Jacob's Ladder (Falmouth).
If you happen to be in the South West and are a fan of ska and reggae, you might fancy giving King L a listen. Just as I was beginning to lose faith in the Cornish music scene, I came across the band as they filled the intimate venue Jacob's Ladder to the brim. A range of songs, from classics such as 54-46 (Toots & the Maytals) to the less expected Brimful of Asha by 90s band Cornershop, kept the crowd happy throughout the entire set. They already have a small following, with lyrics to the band's own single Caroline being yelled back to them and, as you can see from the video, they don't take themselves too seriously - pretty refreshing in a group of young, talented guys. Worth keeping an eye on, we'll be hearing a lot more about them once they start writing more of their own material.
