The Specials, known for their politically charged lyrics and infectious rhythms, were pioneers of the 2-tone ska revival in the late 1970s. With hits like “Ghost Town,” “A Message to You, Rudy,” and “Too Much Too Young,” they captured the spirit of a generation and left an indelible mark on British music. Madness, on the other hand, brought a more playful and eclectic style to the ska scene with their catchy tunes and unforgettable live performances. Their classics, including “Our House,” “Baggy Trousers,” and “One Step Beyond,” have made them one of the most enduring acts in British pop history.
This evening promises to be a tribute to these iconic bands, with live performances from The Classic Double, capturing the essence of their music and the energy of their live shows. A live DJ will keep the party going, spinning classic ska tracks and other timeless hits, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.
As you immerse yourself in the music, enjoy an array of delightful food and drink options. Our bars will be serving up a selection of delicious cocktails, expertly crafted to complement the vibrant atmosphere of the night. Beer lovers can look forward to a variety of craft and popular brews on tap, offering something for every palate. To satisfy your hunger, we’ve gathered multiple food vendors who will be dishing out everything from gourmet street food to classic comfort eats, ensuring there’s something to please every taste.
