Ruddy & Sketto

Ruddy & Sketto

Ruddy Grant & Sketto Richards were another popular duo based in the UK. And just like Sugar and Dandy they had hits!

From 1961 to 1965 they recorded for Melodisc. There great vocals and lyrics were also given some great Shuffle Beat and Ska rhythms. Recorded somewhere in Central London.

A studio in Bond Street - being very popular with Melodisc.

UK produced reggae music as always had an hard time, but back then - the musicians were very determined to get a great sound. Something that stood up to the sounds coming from Jamaica.

And in over twenty releases during the ska they did that. Usually they went for the clean sound of Ska favored by Byron Lee productions. Check out 'See What You Done', and 'Ten Thousand Miles From Home' .
