Discover the roots of 2 Tone music at Ventnor Fringe with author Daniel Rachel

This Ventnor Fringe you can learn all about the history of the music movement, Two Tone.

Author Daniel Rachel will be discussing his definitive book about the label and musical movement that shaped British culture. 

Developed in Coventry in the late 70s, 2 Tone was black and white: a multi-racial mix of British and Caribbean musicians singing about social issues, racism, class and gender struggles.

This event is one for all Rudies out there!
