| Lordpatch User Info... |  "It was like a fashion that turned into a movement: and the movement couldn't be controlled" (Ranking Roger, singer with The Beat)] The year 1979 brought sweeping political changes to this country when Margaret Thatcher became Britain's first woman Prime Minister. The music scene was also in a state of flux: disco and punk had both been popular during the seventies but were in decline. Now young people were looking for something new. Presented by Pauline Black, lead singer of The Selecter, these programmes document the meteoric rise of Two-Tone, which started out as a sound, evolved into a record label and finally became a major youth movement with its own identity and fashions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/inthearchive/?focuswin http://2-tone.info/ - Thu, 10 Feb 2005 1:30pm | ||
