The Beat feat. Rankin Jnr

Banish those Winter blues by getting down to Brighton Concorde 2 and dancing to some of the most famous Ska & Reggae songs ever written! 

The band's influences switched seamlessly between soul, reggae, pop and punk, and from these disparate pieces, they created an infectious dance rhythm. Along with their contemporaries The Specials, The Selecter, and Madness, The Beat became an overnight sensation and one of the most popular and influential bands of the British ska movement.

Over the course of the next five years The Beat toured relentlessly and released three studio albums: “I Just Can’t Stop It”, “Wh’appen”, both reaching number 3 in The UK album charts and “Special Beat Service”. The band toured the world, touring with such artists as David Bowie, The Police, REM, The Clash, The Talking Heads, The Pretenders, and The Specials, to name but a few.

The Beat kept scoring hits with tunes that have now become so popular that it’s hard to remember a time when they didn’t exist.
