The Beat poster at Sheffield Octagon

The Spiel

Formed in 1979, The bEAT made an instant impact with their debut single, an infectious cover of the Smokey Robinson classic “Tears of A Clown”, on 2-Tone Records, which entered the UK charts at #6. Alongside contemporaries The Specials, Madness, and The Selecter, The bEAT became an overnight sensation. Come and join us for a riotous evening with this legendary 2-Tone band. Plus support from the legendary Bad Manners, and a special DJ set from Rhoda Dakar.
