I saw the Beat for the 16th time at the Empire on Thursday and absolutely loved it as always. I also used to go and watch Rankin Roger's Beat too and loved them aswell and was lucky enough to have been at the gig at the o2 Institute a few years ago when Roger was in the crowd and got up for the encore songs. It was the first time the pair had been onstage as The Beat for nearly 40 years and a superb memory to cherish. Even more so when we got chatting to Dave Wakeling after the gig!
I loved the fact that they always respected each other though and stayed in contact unlike those in UB40.
I once read an interview where people were asked for groups they would love to see reform and The Beat were second only to the original line up of The Jam.
I loved both versions of The Beat, but Dave Wakeling will always be the voice of the music and hold the edge, just like the 2 versions of UB40 will always be known for the voice of Ali Campbell.
What an album I Just Can't Stop It was though! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
