The Beat ft. Ranking Jnr + Pama Int'l perform Trojan Records

The Beat were undoubtedly one of the most original bands the UK has produced. Their unique mix of ska, reggae, punk, disco and afrobeat styles stood them apart from their 2 Tone and other contempories. They gave us such incredible hits as Mirror In The Bathroom, Too Nice Too Talk To, Hands Off She's Mine, Stand Down Margaret, Best Friend, Can't Get Used To Losing You, Drowning, Tears of A Clown, Rankin Full Stop, I Confess, Save It For Later and more!

Over the last two decades fans around the world watched Ranking Roger - one of the UK's most beloved frontmen - performing with his son - Ranking Jnr by his side, keep The Beat alive! The pairing was nothing short of electric. And the results on record as equally dynamite! A fact born out in the BBC 6 music adding the Ranking Jnr/Ranking Roger penned - Side To Side by The Beat, to their A playlist.

And now, Ranking Jnr follows in his father's footsteps as the lead singer... carrying The Beat's flag into a new era with a turbo-charged live set guaranteed to raise any roof. With new material on the horizon, and sold-out shows around the world, The Beat's legacy is in phenomenal hands!

Pama Int’l’s deep-rooted connection to Trojan Records goes back to 2006 when they became the first new band to sign to the iconic record label in 30 years! The, critically acclaimed, resulting album 'Trojan Sessions’ featured original songs penned by band writer/producer/keyboardist - Sean Flowerdew for reggae royalty; Derrick Morgan, Dawn Penn, Dave & Ansel Collins, AJ Frankin (Chosen Few), Dennis Alcapone and Winston Francis. In 2016 Pama International launched the official Trojan Records club night at Heavenly Records' London venue - The Social. And in 2018 they performed a highly popular two month ‘Trojan Records songbook’ UK tour.
