Be prepared to dance to some of the most famous ska and reggae songs ever written!

The Beat became an overnight sensation and one of the most popular and influential bands of the British ska movement. By Christmas of 1979, The Beat were riding high in the UK charts with their first single, a smoking remake of the classic Smokey Robinson tune Tears of a Clown. Over the next five years The Beat toured relentlessly with their three studio albums, I Just Can’t Stop It, Wh’appen 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 featuring Ranking Jnr continue to perform all the classic hits in their dynamic live shows.
