The English Beat Tickets
Founded in 1979, The English Beat's eclectic music blended Latin, pop, punk rock, reggae, and soul infused with an infectious rhythm that had people dancing. Members of the band came from Birmingham, England's working class and its songs brought messages of unity and hope to a time of political and social upheaval in music. With its message of inclusion as opposed to exclusion, it produced great hits like "All Out to Get You," "Can't Get Used to Losing You," "Hands Off, She's Mine," "Mirror in the Bathroom", "Save It for Later" and "Too Nice to Talk To." The English Beat toured with several great artists like David Bowie, The Police, REM, The Clash and Talking Heads.The English Beat goes on...
