Oi Rude Boy tipped for success

Shepway singer/songwriter Nick Harrison is about to give the laid back beach life of Folkestone a beat to be proud of.

His sunshine-flecked, ska-splattered sing-a-long 'Oi Rude Boy' is released as a limited edition 7" and download single only on August 25th 2008 with the album 'One Drop' to follow in early 2009.

Nick, a 23-year-old from Folkestone who has just signed to A&M amid much expectation that he's going to repeat the success of the same label's Duffy, is reviving the ska revival, only with a contemporary twist and observations about "skinny victims of the model world."

There is something distinctly Sting-like about his clean, clear singing style while his songs are remarkably Police-ish.

Here is the song and video for you to make up your mind.
