The Inflatables

The Inflatables have been at the heart of Oxfordshire's Ska and 2-Tone scene for over 40 years. A group of close friends that formed over a shared love of music and having a laugh all the way back in 1980! Still retaining four original members, the band have built their reputation and loyal following with a full schedule of gigs throughout the county.

Majorly influenced by bands such as The Specials, Madness, The Selecter, The Beat and Bad Manners, Inflatables started without any formal training to record in their bedrooms and practice religiously before breaking free to perform regular, packed out shows locally.

Most notably, in 2009, Madness invited the Inflatables's version of 'One Better Day' to be featured on a 30-years of ska/2-tone anniversary compilation created by the band. The album, released on 5 October 2009, includes tribute bands from all over the world putting their own interpretations on some classic Madness tracks.

Come and see one of Oxford's most legendary live acts and jump up and down to some of the ska scene's most recognisable hits!
