DAVE WAKELING'S THE BEAT
You just can’t stop The Beat!

One of the biggest bands of the 2-Tone movement, Led by Dave Wakeling,The Beat will be the gig of the weekend. Dave has lived in the USA for over thirty years and rarely plays in the uk, so we are so pleased that after 4 years of chasing we have finally persuaded him to fly over with his amazing band to play for us.

Formed in Birmingham in 1978, the Beat (known in North America as the English Beat) have released three albums to date, ‘I Just Can’t Stop It’, ‘Wha’ppen?’ and ‘Special Beat Service’ and are known the world over for a string of hit singles, including “Mirror in the Bathroom”, “Too Nice To Talk To”, “Can’t Get Used To Losing You”, “Hands off She’s Mine” and “All Out To Get You”. Their songs of peace, love and unity fuse ska, pop, reggae and punk rock and their dynamic live show has ensured them a loyal following at home and abroad.
