    Hope not. They weren’t a ska band and they’re touring again. 
    I have a feeling they might be ska to OP.
    They somehow got lumped in with the Ordinary Boys as new ska at the time.

    Imperial Leisure

    … and other search engine suggestions.
    Did you find imperial leisure on Google or have you actually heard of them?
    There was a slight clue in my earlier post. :)

    A search engine found IL (and several of the other suggestions that have been posted). I typed out their name because it made I larf.
    Be seeing you.

    No, he's just skapered.

    Not dissimilar to Experts Exchange’s web address or that of Pen Island… are either of those the mystery band? Come on, it’s Pen Island isn’t it?

    I've had Lee from Madness in my tent begging for some more of my garden grown weed. Other than that I can't help you OP.
     I assumed it would be that prick that made himself look worse on Buzzcocks in the Amstell era. Love a bit of Ska me!

    I gave him some and then the following morning he and the original drummer of Bad Manners did silly things in a Saab convertible. I used to be good mates with the pair of them.

    Nope , none of the above guys , they were like a glossy ska reggae band , along the lines of Ziggy Marley , lead singer played an accoustic guitar, I cant remember there being a wind section in the band, quite radio friendly, poppy kind of stuff.
    A Deuce , a Tele and a cup of tea.

    Not very ska at all, although they featured a horn section quite frequently, but Dog Eat Dog have just announced their comeback album:

    Much as I love The Beat the OP has given us some serious misdirection if that’s the right answer!
