THE BEAT ft. RANKING JNR 

+ PAMA INT’L perform TROJAN RECORDS songbook

+ DJ Nick Newcombe (Stone Valley)


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.

Pama Int’l now return with The Trojan Songbook part 2 tour! A brand new show that stars unique interpretations of Trojan Records' iconic back catalogue, alongside original material from the bands first reggae album in eight years - Return of the Unity Rockers.  What’s more, every customer attending the show will receive a  Pama Int’l/Trojan songbook for free!

Since their formation in 2001 Pama Int'l have released 18 albums, recorded 5 BBC sessions, been championed by on radio by David Rodigan, Steve Lamacq, Gideon Coe, Don Letts, Huey Morgan and Chris Hawkins and Jon Kennedy.  They have collaborated with; Ken Boothe, Rico Rodriguez, Derrick Morgan, Dawn Penn, AJ Franklin (Chosen Few), Dennis Alcapone, Dave & Ansel Collins, Mad Professor, Billy Bragg, Wrongtom, and Snowboy, whilst their line up has starred members from; The Specials, Madness, The Selecter, Galliano, Steel Pulse, Lee Perry’s Upsetters, the Style Council and the Paul Weller band!

Don’t miss this incredible double bill of the finest 2 Tone, ska and reggae sounds!
