Nonsense. Who cares what someone wears while skanking. I used to put on Ska shows in small towns in Ontario, Canada, and the "new hippie" chicks in their long hippie dresses used to skank with the best of those of us wearing our Docs. They held their own, and had a great time. It's about enjoying the experience. While I don't much like Lily Allen, it's great that she's spreading the love for Ska. Did you see the kids jumping in the audience? I think that's great.

This is good, she's bringing up the ska movement again to the younger generations, introducing new bands, she loved the skinhead movement, even if she doesn't suit it

@MrLiamAntony he was never really a showman, he always just stood there.

I know he's getting on a bit by now, but it's a right shame that Terry doesn't give it much energy. Having seen Toots Hibbert (and the Maytals) at wilderness festival last year, toots still really goes for it and he's got near enough 15 years on Terry. Shame that, absolute blinding performance otherwise though, Lily's clearly loving it!

Really surprised by this I'm not Lily Allen's biggest fan by any stretch but she certainly gave it socks, great to see Billy Bragg having a good old pogo as well.

@perkotv There's inclusion and then there is lilly allen.

I'm also ugly and tone deaf, does that make me think that people want me to stand on a stage and make a noise? No. Anyway, my dad isn't famous so it wouldn't happen

[perkotv]

The 2 tone ethos was inclusion, not exclusion. Big up lily allen.
