About Joachim Uerschels

I’m a Ska fan, singer and songwriter, into this music since 1980. I have been making Ska music since 1984, most of the time with my band The Braces, more recently with the Alpha Boys or in a laid back acoustic line up as Joe Scholes. At joescholes.com I write about things that have two qualities:They move me AND they have to do with Ska. You will find adventures of The Braces as well as thoughts about today’s scene, the way Ska is perceived now and much more. Feel free to contact me at joe@joescholes.com

Hi Joe,

I’m the guitarist in a SKA band from Malta called The Rifffs. We were originally around in the late 70′s early 80′s and have recently reformed to record an album and play gigs in Malta and Europe. If you send me your address I can send you a few copies of the album. See what you think. We would appreciate your opinion.

Cheers

Rayvin

Hi Rayvin, thanks a lot for the offer. I sent you my address via email. One copy would be fine. I am curious to find out more about the Rifffs.
