The Beat (feat. Ranking JNR) + Support @ Jacs Aberdare

Jacs Aberdare presents:

🎷 The Beat - Feat. Ranking JNR 🏁

The Beat are a legendary British band formed in Birmingham in 1978, renowned for their infectious blend of ska, pop, soul, reggae, and punk rock. Emerging from the late 1970s ska revival, The Beat quickly became known for their vibrant, danceable sound and politically conscious lyrics, resonating with audiences during a time of social upheaval in the UK. Their original lineup featured Dave Wakeling (vocals, guitar), Ranking Roger (vocals), Andy Cox (guitar), David Steele (bass), Everett Morton (drums), and Saxa (saxophone), whose Jamaican roots brought an authentic ska flavour to the group.

The Beat released three acclaimed albums-I Just Can't Stop It (1980), Wha'ppen? (1981), and Special Beat Service (1982)-and produced hits like "Mirror in the Bathroom," "Hands Off...She's Mine," and "Too Nice to Talk To." Their energetic live shows and genre-fusing style earned them a devoted following in the UK and around the world. Although the band disbanded in 1983, members went on to form influential acts such as General Public and Fine Young Cannibals. The Beat’s legacy endures, with their music continuing to inspire new generations and their message of unity and celebration still resonating today
