Nicky Bomba and Melbourne Ska Orchestra would like to thank the music-lovers for all their support.  MSO front-man Nicky Bomba and a contingent of the band flew the flag for ska at last night’s 27th Annual ARIA Awards ceremony in Sydney – and though they didn’t bring home the prize, they partied like they DID!

Big congratulations to the winner of the ‘Best Blues and Roots Album’, Russell Morris.  And big ups to fellow nominees and friends Mama Kin, Cat Empire, and Archie Roach.

BIG thanks to the team at ABC Music / FOUR|FOUR for the love and support and Mama Anna MSO’s super-manager. What a night!
