LOL, so Donn called me before he played and said he hung out with David Wakling and said he was pretty cool....As for Ranking Roger he no longer plays in the band as far as I know he teaches Yoga in the UK

Phew, I thought it was just me...

From memory the 1982 Beat gig was at a large venue, probably the Forum in Kentish Town. They were a big name at the time, along with other big UK Ska acts like UB40, The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners... they were supported by the Tom Robinson Band, another blast from the past.

That was before the 80s went all mushy and new romantic... yuck.
