the AU interview: Nicky Bomba of the Melbourne Ska Orchestra (Melbourne)

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to catch up with the amazing Nicky Bomba under several guises. From his solo material, to his work with John Butler and now the 26-piece Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Nicky has been a very busy man in the Australian music industry. Focusing much of his attention at the moment on MSO, whose debut record hit number five in ARIA’s official Jazz Albums Chart this week, we talk about the band’s upcoming performances, BIGSOUND and more…

Melbourne Ska Orchestra appear next at the Caloundra Music Festival this weekend (October 5th), ahead of a headline show at the Factory Theatre on 9th November in Sydney and then a bunch of festivals through the Summer.
