“…..The Beat. Who needs the brave new world when the old school is still this good?”  Sunday Mirror

One of the biggest bands of the 2-Tone movement, The Beat present a wall of sound that transcends time and ska fusion rhythms to ignite a crowd. They play with the sole aim of connecting with and entertaining their appreciative audience with their relentless energy and world class musicianship.

The Beat 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 garnered them a loyal following at home and abroad.

The Beat formed in Birmingham in 1978, part of the West Midlands ska revival scene that also produced The Specials and The Selecter, whilst London saw the formation of Madness and The Bodysnatchers.

The 2014 line-up features Ranking Roger and Ranking Junior on vocals, Fuzz Townshend on drums plus Andy Pearson, Matt Godwin and Steve Harper and Bobby Bird on bass, sax and guitars.

"Mirror in the bathroom, please talk free.  
The door is locked just you and me."

The support act for the event are the brilliant Silo 18...

SILO 18

Exploding from the Hertfordshire music scene that has produced many great bands before, Silo 18 have proved themselves to be one of the hottest bands to come out of the Three Counties with their unique songwriting, merged genres and energetic live performances.

Formed in the summer of 2013, former members of The City Calls, Codename Colin and Only Twin have grafted their sound through extensive live performances and countless hours rehearsing to finely tune what would be their sound. Punk Rock at it's core, the guys try and keep the audience guessing with Ska, Alternative Rock and Pop Punk influences broadening their horizons.

The band have recently finished recording their long awaited EP at Frakture Studios, a follow up to their successful first release 'The EP'. Due for release in April 2015, it features crowd favourites 'Side By Side' and 'Barricade'. Currently Silo 18 are planning extensive gigging and touring in support of their yet-to-be-titled EP for the rest of the year, performing to a wider audience and blowing people away. This is not a band you will want to miss.
