2016 was our first Ska Bash 4 Sash, one year after the passing of our Sasha. It remains a way of celebrating her zest for life whilst combining with her love for ska music. After listening to it endlessly through her dad, Chris, to inevitably joining him to live gigs, Sasha’s style and music tastes swiftly morphed into his. She would soon be lost without her hat and would always be able to hear her coming with the thundering footsteps of her Dr. Marten boots, she was hooked.

Gutted to be spending her 19th birthday in hospital, a joint party was to be planned between Sasha and Michelle of obtaining a ska band to celebrate, sadly Sasha succumbed to her illness before being released from hospital. A decision was made by Sasha’s family to every year, close to Sasha’s birthday or anniversary, hold a Ska Bash to raise money for charities which had supported her throughout her battle until Sasha Would’ve Loved It was formed to support teenagers and young adults in Cornwall.
