Published: April 18, 2018, 3:08 p.m.

I catch up with Dave Wakeling of The English Beat. They were one of the most influential bands of the early 80\u2019s. The band\u2019s hits include \u201cSave it for Later\u201d, \u201cI Confess\u201d and \u201cMirror in the Bathroom\u201d. Their music fused punk rock, soul, reggae and ska. The Beat broke up after releasing their third album. Dave and Ranking Roger formed General Public. Dave reformed The English Beat and has toured extensively. The English Beat are releasing their first album in 30 years.
