I saw The Beat in 1980 and in 1981 when they sold out Manchester Apollo in a matter of hours and to this day the 1980 gig is one of the best I have ever seen,by anybody.A bit of shame to see them in half full clubs with bored looking (albeit competent) session musicians.The Beat essentially died in 1985 when the original line up split.Roger still gives his all though.
@bezz456 really , you should have been at the boarshead on the 22/12/11, the place was packed to the rafters , they still rock it out man . SKAS BACK BRAAAAAA.
Can anyone tell me if that is Mickey Billingham on keyboards. If so what a great bloke I knew him from his days in Cryer. If you know can you leave a message, Thanks
