Too Much Too Young

Too Much Too Young are playing the Scarborough Spa Theatre on Saturday 21 November, with the show starting at 19:30. It's a nine-piece band from Coventry and the surrounding areas, and they've built their whole act around the 2 Tone movement. If that doesn't ring a bell, it's the sound of the late seventies and early eighties when ska, punk and reggae all collided in the UK.

Their live set is a celebration of that era, and they pull from the big names that defined it: Madness, The Specials and The Beat. With nine people on stage, they've got the numbers to bring those horn sections and full-band arrangements to life, rather than relying on a stripped-back version. It's a tribute to the 2 Tone sound, so you'll hear the ska upbeat, the punk energy and the reggae influence all in one night.

Coming from Coventry, they're playing right in the heart of where the movement started. The city was the home of The Specials, so it's a fitting place for a band dedicated to that particular sound to call their own. That connection to the original scene sits at the core of what they do.

Tickets are £31.45 full price, with a Ticketmaster handling fee of up to £2.50 per order. The show is at the Scarborough Spa Theatre on South Bay, YO11 2HD, on Saturday 21 November, starting at 19:30.
