The English Beat are ska legends and a band that I have loved forever. This was my first time seeing them live and I love the fact that I got to photograph them, too.

They opened with "Mirror in the Bathroom", told us about how they started 40 years ago fighting Nazis (and sadly it feels like we're still doing that), told us about how "topping ourselves seemed like a viable alternative. Glad I chickened out because I wouldn’t be here for this night with you. 10 Guinness and write this one. Click bloody Click.", and closed out with two of my all-time favourites, "Save it for Later" and "Twist and Crawl".

This was an incredible night of powerful music from such great bands. Check out my coverage of Rancid, Pennywise and Angel Du$t by following those links.

And here's some amazing English Beat tunes to enjoy while checking out the photos and remembering a great, great night.
