  • A guest 100% at O2 Academy Bristol, Bristol on Sun, 04 Oct 2015

    Fantastic show, featuring Dave Wakeling, original lead vox from The Beat. Hw now lives in California but does tour the UK, so catch him when you can!
    His band are all excellent musicians, including a fantastic toaster. Highly entertaining and a new album on the way (due 2016)

  • A guest 60% at O2 Academy Islington, London on Thu, 01 Oct 2015

    Loved it but gutted Dave dropped Tenderness, especially after having played it at the gigs I didn't go to. Needs a little more faith in that song.

    Very good concert. Surprised that there was no encore though. You should promote your event in Rochester as well for next year.

    English Beat was amazing! Dave Wakeling is a wonderful show man, very personable, and his voice still sounds incredible!
