In 1979, 2 Tone exploded into the national consciousness as records by The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, The Beat, and The Bodysnatchers burst onto the charts and a youth movement was born. 2 Tone was black and white: a multi-racial force of British and Caribbean Island musicians singing about social issues, racism, class and gender struggles.
Bestselling author Daniel Rachel maps out the journey of one of the UK’s most influential record labels that became a movement that shook up the nation with its rebellious spirit, fighting against the injustices in society and took the fight against the right wing extremism in the country.
A Sunday times and uncut book of the year.
Daniel will be in conversation with Sean Hannam who is a freelance journalist specialising in retail, tech and music.
