Description
This exhibition has now closed
This exhibition runs from Friday 12th January 2024 to Monday 1st July 2024.
An exhibition for the fans by the fans going some way to explain not just what 2Tone is but why and how we got there.
The exhibition will feature a range of band memorabilia, items of clothing, literature, art, photographs, and contributions from the bands' many fans, and explore how Caribbean immigration influenced UK youth culture in a positive way.
Described as Two-tone or 2 tone, as well as 'ska-rock' and 'ska revival', it fused traditional Jamaican ska, rocksteady, and reggae music with elements of punk rock and new wave music. The name itself comes from the record label, 2 Tone Records, which was founded in 1978 by Jerry Dammers from The Specials, which was one of the most popular Two-tone bands of the time.
