Did you know Bob Marley had a ska side? Before his iconic reggae sound, he was part of the Wailers and played some seriously groovy ska tunes. Tracks like "Simmer Down" and "One Love/People Get Ready"...

The Sinclair ZX81, launched in 1981, revolutionised home computing with its affordable, sleek design. With just 1KB of RAM, it fuelled creativity and sparked a tech revolution. It may be minimalist by todayโ€™s standards, but its influence on computing history is monumental...

That 2-Tone influence? Still echoing today. The sharp dress, the social commentary, the fusion of genres โ€“ it's woven into the fabric of countless bands & subcultures. A reminder that style & substance can collide to create something truly timeless. #ModRevival #2Tone #Ska #MusicHistory

Key player? Jerry Dammers. 2-Tone Records, his label, was a lightning rod. Ska's infectious rhythms, the black & white aesthetic, and the message of unity โ€“ it wasn't just music, it was a statement. The Specials, The Beat, Madness... they captured a moment.

Late 70s/early 80s: a glorious, chaotic explosion of parkas, scooters, and sharp suits. The Mod Revival wasn't just a nostalgia trip, it was a re-imagining. Think 60s R&B & soul, but with punk's energy & a dose of Thatcher-era frustration.
