THE BEAT GOES ON… Ska and reggae icons The Beat are heading back out on the road to ‘Carry the Flag’ & legacy of Ranking Roger. Now fronted by Ranking Jnr, the group are energising audiences with some of the most famous ska and reggae tracks ever written.

Based in Birmingham, The Beat released their debut single “Tears of a Clown” through The Specials’ 2-Tone label in 1979. The single went Top Ten in the UK, and they struck a deal with Arista to distribute on their own Go Feet label. Their debut studio album “Just Can’t Stop” went Gold in England and included the now-cult single “Mirror in The Bathroom”.

The band’s ferocious performances and clever blend of personal and political lyrics made them stars at home and abroad.
