The Beat - Announce '...Still can't stop It!' tour!!!

Skankin; their way round the UK, dancing to The Beat!!!

Legendary 2-Tone Ska Reggae Group led by vocalist Dave Wakeling are celebrating their 40th Anniversary. The Beat formed in 1979 and released their debut single, an infectious cover of the Smokey Robinson classic ‘Tears of A Clown’ on 2-Tone Records.   Along with their contemporaries The Specials, Madness, and The Selecter, The Beat became an overnight sensation.

Over course of the next five years The Beat released three studio albums 'I Just can't stop It, Wha'appen' and 'Special beat Service' which included a series of classic hit singles between 1979 - 1983 such as 'Mirror in the Bathroom, Best Friend, Can't get used to losing You, Hands Off...She's Mine, Too nice to talk To' and 'Twist and Crawl' making them one of the most popular and influential bands of the 2-Tone Ska movement.
