Noddy Holder narrates the surprising origins of our favourite music genres. The British 2 Tone Ska craze lasted from 1979 to 1981, when bands like Madness, The Selecter, The Beat and The Specials took it in turns to top the charts. Lasting only two years, it packed a mighty punch and its influence is still felt today. It was also one of the first urban musical subcultures to promote the union of black and white writers and performers on the same stage. Two of the genre's stars join experts and enthusiasts to look back on their work, and remember the original Caribbean Ska artists who inspired them.
