The English Beat Booking Agency Profile
Born and raised in working-class Birmingham, England, Wakeling and The English Beat burst onto the music scene in the late 1970s, a time of social and political upheaval. The six-member band fused their musical influences of soul, reggae, pop, and punk into a unique sound that was highly danceable. Along with contemporaries such as The Specials, The Selecter, and Madness, The English Beat became one of the most popular and influential bands of the British Two Tone Ska movement.
Over the course of three albums, The English Beat achieved great success in their home country, charting several singles into the top 10. In America, the band found a solid fan base eager to dance to their hypnotic rhythms and absorb their message of peace, love, and unity. They toured extensively with iconic bands such as The Clash and The Police, further boosting their popularity.
Despite their success, The English Beat remained true to their principles and donated their profits to various causes, including the Committee for Nuclear Disarmament and the anti-nuclear benefit album "Life in The European Theatre." They lent their voices to The Special AKA's "Free Nelson Mandela," among other anthems of freedom.
After their third album, "Special Beat Service," The English Beat disbanded in 1983. However, they have since rejoined and are making music to this day..

An example fee to book The English Beat is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
