I'm 62 and was and still into 2 tone, ska. I go to see local ska and 2 tone bands. Also have seen the selecter, the beat, UB40 live. I still have original badges, pork pie hat, ect... This was a great era for me, and as long as I live, I'll keep going to gigs. Love it.

Hey, Roger, i'm 62 too, but i'm from East Grrmany, Wasn't easy, to find this brillant Music! But, 18:11 this will be always aTime of my Life! Greetings, from Torsten, East Germany!

Loved this era. I lived in London as a 13 year old kid who immigrated in Dec 79 from New Zealand with my family. I was immersed into SKA culture early 80s onwards. The music was phenomenal. I saw the Specials perform live back in New Zealand in the 2000s. Awesome show. Have always loved all the bands & music from this special time in English musical culture.

My dad and my uncle brought me up listening to two tone music absolutely loved singing along to this music and now I have my kids dancing/singing the best music 🎶

I remember Christmas 1980 and totp I got my nan dancing to the 2 tone hits of that year and she did love Geno, now I'm a grandad and there's no way I'd dance to the crap that they listened to today we was so lucky back then!!

Best music era ever! So glad to have experienced it and still love it today 🙌

Saw bad manners on Thursday 22nd December 2022 at rock city Nottingham. He's slowed a bit but what a night . Absolutely fantastic

Lucky enough to be at the Lanch (Coventry Poly) when Two Tone was in its heyday. (1979-82) Saw the Specials at the Students Union! Still love this stuff.

I love Bad Manners The Beat and Madness..and the first...The Specials...thank you guys for making this music for us all to enjoy.

Terry Hall is a master, considering his life experiences he battled thru and changed my life for the better. Their records take me back to my best days, Ghost Town and International Jetset. When he started up Fun Boy 3, he just cracked it. It wasn't until recently that I discovered the real story behind the "School trip to France". This guy was my man hero..Toyah had my heart.

There are still one or two bands doing gigs, and loads of tribute bands around doing ska, 2 tone. Complete madness, ub42, the gangsters, the sound injectors, are very good. This music is still around, I'm 62 and still go to gigs.

The clothes the music the people, it’s not gone and never be forgotten 😎

Love it all!!! 2 tone 👍👍

This is like the video tape that gets taped over time and time again with random bits of tv and self editing.. stop and pause to cut the adverts out... Kinda nostalgia in itself. I miss these times.

I recall this being on Channel 4 one Saturday night in late 2000. These days we can watch this whenever we want online but 'streaming' was yet to come. What a buzz, footage I'd not seen since 1980. Happy times. All the 2 Tone bands had their own individual sounds and personality.

We need this kind of originality again it was great .

I was living in London in '78 and my girlfriend had an asymmetric haircut and black and white check dresses . I had spikey punked up hair and clothes. Mega time to be around. So many gigs around town every week... 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Seeing Dennis Greaves singing in The Truth reminds me of a time I went to see Nine Below Zero at the Slough Fulcrum in 1980 I believe. They had just performed at Reading Rock and had grown a large Rocker following. Me being a Mod at the time, it was very disconcerting being at a concert surrounded by extremely large leather clad persons. But I must say, they were great as we all had one thing in common....the fantastic 9 Below Zero

Arr the 80s, Dexys was a big part of that era, love it.

Used to be Ska club in an old community hall near me,it was fantastic!All like minded souls all appearing over the hill all dressed the same with our little pork pie hats,loafers,harrington jackets etc on,it was amazing!! Happy memories! :-)

Great times to be alive and the mod revival was a breath of fresh air for all us old ska two tone boys and girls 🛵 winters coming so the parkas be on 😎x

I never really listened to Geno until recently 4-5 years ago! so glad.. I hate when songs get ruined by over playing.. It properly makes hairs stand up for me... now I am old I totally love the lyrics too! wish I had a band with which to do a cover of it.. or similar

In the 80s i was a teenager so i sort of grow up listening to all of the band's from the 80s but my favourite had to be ska two tone & in the early 90s i got to see madness at the first madstock & the second madstock & what a amazing brilliant crazy day it was it said in the local free paper at finsbey park that the residents through tha could feel a earth quake

GENO my fave Dexys song ever ......also have great memories of going to the fair with my cousin , and we saw Buster Bloodvessel there and he got on the same ride as we were gonna go on next , so we watched him on the ride as we waited our turn lol , great guy x

No. I was standing still for the entire two hours. No moves at all.

in 1980 me and my mod mates formed a band, we were huge fans of 9 below zero, and the purple hearts, we had several rehearsals, then came terrible news, our favorite bands had split up and was now called......the Truth, same name as we had chosen.

How cool is Geno Washington!

This life was our life,and that was the best life we ever had!🏁🕶️🎷⬛⬜🔲🇬🇧

The sophomore effort of The Specials is one of the best second albums of all time, right up there (in terms of excellent second albums, mind you) with Led Zeppelin II, Countdown to Ecstasy by Steely Dan, and Bridge of Sighs, by Robin Trower. Yup, it really is that good. For a second album. Great fookin’ album, then.

Lucky enough to meet Bad Manners at the Sheffield Uni rag ball when I helped Makin Time in with their gear. Top, top lads, and what a gig!

''Geno'' got us all up on the dance floor .Even my mates who never danced before in their life's ..some were shocking but we laughed, as they joined us ,all of us had the best nights of our life's back then 😁Don't even get me started on madness/specials and lip up fatty 😂we took over the dance floor 😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁

I was just a couple of years too young and a bit too middle class to get involved in this, but as a drummer who makes a living from music, there ain't a day goes by when I don't reference the boys and girls in this doco.

Dexy's, The Specials, Selecter, Madness, Bad Manners. Love 'em all and seen 'em all. Interesting that the two most fun bands are the longest lived and arguably the most successful though Whoever stuck The Truth on at the end needs his head read though.

Amazing editing..

Saw Geno at the Royal Tottenham 1966 at least 3 times.

My 2 tone green and gold suit. Cool

I love how a few blokes going "doot" and "skidiyupah!" can send an entire country into chaos.

I knew a lad in the early '80s who was a big fan of The Truth. Every time we saw him in the street he spoke of this band, or he was on his way to see them live somewhere. He even said he and his friends at school would pretend to be the band on the school stage. Nearly 40 years later and I am finally hearing and seeing The Truth.

Never heard of The Truth before. They're really good.

Really great documentary... Always loved Ska... Still crave More, and I find meself wondrin' why I'd never seen this video before... My name's Jonny and I'm going to enjoy myself FIRST (Thanx for posting and... Cheers)
