Many in attendance at this Thursday night all-ages Jannus show likely weren’t even born at the height of The English Beat’s popularity. Formed in the late 1970s and among the leaders of the 2 Tone ska revival with their Jamaica-rooted music, the now over-50 ska band from across the pond infuses their hi-hat heavy repertoire with sultry saxophone, vocals by frontman Dave Wakeling and toaster Antonee First Class, and heavy keyboard magic.
