About

The Embezzlers

The EMBEZZLERS are a 6 piece, 100% Live, SKA band based in Exeter, Devon.
Playing the best in SKA and 2TONE from Desmond Dekker, Toots and Jimmy Cliff to The Specials, The Selecter, Madness and The Beat etc. Oh... and there's even a tiny little bit of The Clash thrown in for good measure!

Going back to the late 70's and early 80's the sounds of the likes of Madness, The Selector and The Specials were floating around on the airwaves, uplifting the spirits... and that music still does that to this day because SKA and 2TONE was, and still is, a movement that unites people. All sorts of folk turn out for EMBEZZLER Shows and no matter who they are and where they are from, they are all there for the same thing - The Music (oh... and maybe a few beers too!!!) So whatever your roots... Come join the extended family!


Comprising of a bunch of highly experienced and extremely dedicated musicians , The Embezzlers have every base covered with a top notch horn section, killer keys, perfect off beat strings, crazy tight drums and all fronted by 'Murph'... Front Man with more energy than a Gallon of Red Bull! If you can keep up with him then you are a true 'Bezzler'!!!

EMBEZZLERS gigs are an experience not to be missed. HIGH ENERGY, HIGH SPIRITS, LOTS OF SINGING and most definitly LOTS of SKANKING going on. Crowd participation is by no means compulsory of course, but you wont be able to help yourself tapping your foot, let alone coming right down the front and getting fully involved!!

No gig or venue is to big or too small, whether the audience amounts to 50 or 500, the whole place will be bouncing up and down before you know it... Thats the Embezzlers way!

Available for Pubs, Clubs, Weddings, Festivals and Parties, whatever the event, The EMBEZZLERS will bring it to you with 110% enthusiasm, dedication, professionalism, a crisp white shirt and a sharp black suit!

The Reggaskas
The Reggaskas are an eight-piece female-fronted band, with a strong rhythm section accompanied by a lively horn section. Performing unique original songs and a few covers with an energetic reggae/ska vibe, which guarantees to get the crowd dancing.
Founded in 2014, The Reggaskas first single 'Who's the Daddy' went down a storm. Releasing their first album called 'Long way home' in 2016, which has been played across local and national radio stations. Playing live at many festivals, weddings, and pubs over the years, this is a band not to be missed.

Creating that unique sound has to be the bond between the band-members who share the same passion for the music and the creative spark to make something unique.

With a new album now out, which brings you that unique Reggaskas sound which they create live on stage.

Too Hot
Too Hot have been around for what seems like a long time but took a break for 10 years reforming in 2025 and now playing gigs across the south west and beyond. The first 3 full albums - Nice & Easy (2000), Wise Up (2002) and Time Flies (2006) and 2 EPs - Kicking Off (1993) and Big Time (1999).
They have playing ska and reggae, from about 1992 and have dominated the local, regional and national and international Ska Scene now for over ten Years. Working along side The Selector, The Beat, Bad Manners, The Skatelites, and Desmond Decker,and Specials Guitarist Mr Roddy himself (also making an appearence on the "Wise Up" album) and the more recent Welsh outfit supremos Smoke Like A fish as well as appearences on the BBC. We can also be fund on such complination albums from all round the world Skannibal Party 5, PunkSkaParty,Stay Sharp Vol.2, Global Ska Vol.2, United Colors of Ska Vol.3, United Colors of Ska Vol.2, United Colors of Ska Vol.3, United Colors of Ska Vol.2, We Don't Skare - A Modern Ska Compilation, Mad Dogs & Englishmen, Krishna Colours on the Wall, Popcompilation 2000-2001 with more enquirys to appear on another complination album due to be released in the USA.
