Jaguar Skills

The Scott Arms DJ, Funky Lemonade, Live Music

Saturday 29 November

Not all heroes wear capes – book your tickets for Jaguar Skills performing live at the Scott Arms, Kingston on Saturday 29 November 2025.

We are thrilled to announce hip hop hero Jaguar Skills will be performing live and direct at the Scott Arms Kingston on Saturday 29 November 2025. He will be aided and abetted by Specifik, Cut La Funk, Cursa And L-Roy (Cult 45) from 7pm til late.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them wear masks and obsess about music at a painfully nerdy level… Meet Jaguar Skills; part man, part mystery, ALL pop cultural encyclopedia. Here is a human being who has taken the technical art of DJing to such intense dexterous levels he can weave full narratives into club sets without ever losing focus of the groove. Here is a human being who won’t just be able to identify a sample, he’ll source the date and the studio it was recorded and the musicians and engineers behind it. Give him enough time and he’ll find out what they had for breakfast that day, too.

Here is a human being so driven by a hunger for the most miniscule musical details that it’s characterised, influenced and inspired every single event that’s happened in his life since his teens. First came his time as music journalist, launching Downlow – one of the UK’s earliest hip-hop magazines – and amassing a full editorial and publishing team before the age of 20. A wild ride that placed him in eye of the perfect hip-hop storm during one of its most golden ages, it triggered an ambitious trip that continues with the same full throttle sense of sonic activism to this day… As an artist, DJ, producer, curator and archivist and so many other high profile roles in between.

Hip Hop Hero Jaguar Skills will be performing live at the Scott Arms Kingston on Saturday 29 November.

It’s a trip where you’re just as likely to see him tour with The Prodigy as you are see him making Netflix theme tunes Romesh Ranganathan or writing entire scores to movies that only exist in his mind, with some of the most respected players in soul and funk. He’s told full musical histories on every radio station worth waving an aerial at without so much as saying a word. He’s been invited into record label vaults and given access to recordings and materials that no one knew even existed. He’s played on some of the world’s biggest stages and soundtracked the entire entertainment spectrum from catwalk fashion to comedy… Can you think of any other DJ whose CV includes being resident for Jade Jagger’s exclusive parties and making monkey-themed mixes with Ross Noble?

Joining so many musical dots you’d swear his life was magic eye picture, the list of credits, collaborations and creative accomplishments this man has amassed since his first DJ set in 2002 is endless and an attempt to list theme comprehensively has the same dizzying effect you get when you stare into deep space and ponder the meaning of life.

Whether it’s producing Lupe Fiasco’s breakthrough hit ‘We Love You’ in 2006, creating a brand new KRS-One banger from an old forgotten acapella in Nervous Records basement (‘Big Up New York’) in 2014 or his most recent Hip-Hop Timebomb project in 2023, hip-hop’s 50th anniversary (an opus that takes his hunger for detail to outrageously nerdy new levels), this human being consistently, categorically and continuously pushes his passion for music to the most extreme levels he possibly can… And for no other reason but out of pure love, nerdy obsession and devout celebration of culture. The man, the mystery, the encyclopedic knowledge continues…

Mad Professor

The Scott Arms DJ, Live Music, Reggae

Saturday 23 August

Dub producer Mad Professor is set to make Kingston quake when he appears live at the Scott Arms along with Sister Aisha and the Ariwa Posse.

We are delighted and excited to announce that dub legend Mad Professor will be performing live and direct at the Scott Arms Kingston on Saturday 23 August 2025. This is a massive coup for the pub and will form part of the Ariwa record label’s 45 years of Dubbing You Crazy Exclusive Dub Plates World Tour. Mad Professor will be joined by Sister Aisha and the Ariwa Showcase from 7pm right through to 1am.

Equally renowned for producing deep roots reggae, trance-inducing dub and bittersweet lover’s rock, the Mad Professor’s Ariwa Sound stable is a veritable institution of British Reggae. Now celebrating over 40 years of Ariwa ingenuity, those who have had the pleasure of spending time in Professor’s company know that he is a man of high intelligence and easy wit, committed to progressive social change as well as evolutionary music; he is also a gentleman in every sense of the word.

Dub legend Mad Professor will be performing live at the Scott Arms Kingston on Saturday 23 August.

A producer, engineer and remixer who’s known to his mum as Neil Fraser, Mad Professor needs hardly any introduction to both reggae and dance music fans alike. He has collaborated with reggae artists Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Sly and Robbie, Pato Banton, Jah Shaka, Channel One Soundsystem and Horace Andy, as well as artists outside the realm of traditional reggae and dub, such as Massive Attack, The Orb, Sade, Gaudi, Grace Jones and Perry Farrell.

Fraser emigrated from Guyana to London at the age of 13 where he collected recording and mixing equipment, eventually opening his own four-track recording studio, Ariwa Sounds, in 1979 in the living room of his home in Thornton Heath. He began recording lovers rock bands and vocalists for his label and recorded his first album after moving the studio to a new location in Peckham in 1982. Fraser’s Dub Me Crazy series of albums won the support of John Peel, who regularly aired tracks from the albums throughout the 80s. The mid-1980s saw releases from Sandra Cross, Johnny Clarke, Peter Culture, Pato Banton, and Macka B.

Fraser moved again, this time to South Norwood, where he set up what was the largest black-owned studio complex in the UK, recording lovers rock tracks by Cross, John McLean and Kofi, along with Jamaican artists including Bob Andy and Faybiene Miranda. He teamed up with Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry for the first time in 1983 for the recording of the album Mystic Warrior (1989).

Mad Professor has created 12 instalments of the Dub Me Crazy series since 1980 and his world tour takes in London, Milton Keynes, Gloucester, Cornwall, Croatia, Spain and, of course, Kingston in Dorset!

Ariwa Posse artist Sister Aisha will be singing live.

Sister Aisha is a soundman’s daughter and a true roots dawta. Born Pamela Ross on October 1962 in Wolverhampton, England, child of Jamaican parents, she debuted at the tender age of eight on her father’s Soundsystem. She’s toured the world singing her joyful songs and doing Jah Works. But no matter where she goes, be it Africa, Brazil, Europe, Australia, Scandinavia, Mexico or Japan, she’s uplifted and inspired the ones who hear her sing.

Her American debut came in March 2004 with Mad Professor when she blessed NYC with a special appearance. Her 1st albums, ‘High Priestess’ and ‘True Roots’ were produced by Professor on his Ariwa label, her last two, ‘Zion’s Daughter’ and ‘Raise Your Voice’ were produced by Twinkle Brother Norman Grant. All are roots classics.

When ORB sampled ‘Creator’ on the hit ‘Blue Room’ and Ministry of Sound sampled it again on ‘Roll To The Floor’ , Aisha reached an even wider audience. Jah Shaka, the respected UK Soundman, continually played a dub mixes of ‘Creator’ in session, thus introducing everyone to Aisha’s magical & angelic voice, singing one of the deepest and most heartikal of roots tunes.

This will be an exclusive, intimate event limited to just 200 people. Tickets are on sale via Eventbrite for £25 with a very limited number of Early Bird tickets available for £20. This will sell out so book early to avoid disappointment. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for availability announcements.

Krafty Kuts

The Scott Arms DJ, Funky Lemonade, Live Music

Saturday 31 May

Krafty Kuts, the undisputed King of Breaks, performs live at the Scott Arms Kingston.

Funky Lemonade presents another Kracking night on Saturday 31 May when Krafty Kuts takes over the ones and twos from 7pm til late backed by a heavyweight line-up featuring Cursa, Bubaking, DJ Junk and Cut La Funk.

If you’ve already been to a Funky Lemonade night at the Scott Arms, you’ll know that you’re in for a night of floor-filling beats, great vibes and the very best hospitality. And we’ve got a Korker planned for the next party when Krafty Kuts, aka DJ Martin Reeves, performs live and direct into the night.

Renowned and respected worldwide for his highly technical turntablism, meticulously crafted DJ sets and party-punching productions, Krafty Kuts is in a league of his own. One of the key pioneers in the UK breakbeat and bass movement, Krafty Kuts has multiple awards to his name and has released music on the likes of Ministry Of Sound, OWSLA, Southern Fried, DMC, Fabric and many more.

Continuously immersed in beat culture since forming his own b-boy break dancing crew in the late 80s, Krafty Kuts has had his own record store chain, run labels, promoted critical scene events, formed his own band Wicked City and performed to crowds of 40,000 alongside the biggest names in music from the Rolling Stones to The Prodigy. Living, breathing and sleeping the funk without compromise.

Support on the night is a heavyweight too. For the first time we are joined by Bubaking who like to mash it up with an “anything goes including the kitchen sink” attitude and a cheeky old skool twist. The duo have released a series of infamous Mix CDs, a Radio 1 Minimix for Annie Mac, Burgers & Beats Radio Shows, Cheeky Booties/Re-edits and a string of festival appearances.

Also appearing is DJ Junk, a DJ and producer based in Bournemouth. He is part of the UK’s legendary Second To None b-boy crew. Established in 1985, Second To None were one of the best b-boy crews in the world, travelling extensively to jams and events all over Europe and were joint winners of the first ‘Battle Of The Year’ in 1990. Junk began DJ-ing in 1988 and has been producing his own music since 1992 including the ‘Breaker Breaks’ albums on his own Second To None label as well as other titles including ‘Weapons Of Mass Deckstruction’ , ‘Powermoves LP’ , ‘Decks And The City’, ‘Big Mouth/Big Bread Winner’ & ‘Style Wars’.

Back once again we have Cursa, a Bournemouth-based hip hop DJ and passionate 7-inch vinyl collector with over 25 years experience. One half of the DJ duo ‘Cult.45’, Cursa has been dropping bombs for years now and his sets at Funky Lemonade have been nothing short of phenomenal.

Last and by no means least we have Cut La Funk bringing 25 years of performing alongside some of the greatest in the business, including Sly & the Family Stone, the Fatback Band, Norman Jay and Jazzy Jeff.

Early Bird tickets are £10 and are available for sale online through Eventbrite. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for availability announcements. Funky Lemonade nights get super busy so book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
