Band Background
Big 10 was formed in 1999 by Jason and Andy Periss. Realising that it was getting harder and harder to hear the music they love live, they formed Big 10. At the time Jason was managing local ska legends Colonel Hathi (from where singer Gary Brown and trombone player Bill Smith were recruited) and Andy was well established in the Cambridge scene. The ambition was to create the most dynamic and exciting Ska tribute to their heroes for all the fellow fans out there.
Renowned for a huge Ska sound, entertaining stage antics and a loyal following Big 10 are one of the most popular tribute acts in the south east. Racking up over 500 gigs across the Uk over the last 10 years, the bands popularity has only ever increased.
