Our first festival gig of the summer was at Glastonselfy last night, and we had an amazing time! ๐Ÿคฉ Thanks so much to Jayne Jeremiah for booking us, everyone at the festival, and of course that brilliant audience!

But just a few hours before it was looking doubtful that we would actually make itโ€ฆ Due to a misplaced set of keys, we couldnโ€™t get our equipment out of the van! So we called an emergency locksmith and Paul from Baldwin 24hr Locksmiths came to our rescue! We canโ€™t thank him enough for coming to our aid, so if anyone out there needs a locksmith, he definitely gets the 2 Rude seal of approval! ๐Ÿ‘

For our next gig we will be headlining the first night of Glastonselfy Festival in Crosskeys on Friday June 28th! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

The Palladium Club welcomes 2 Rude back to North Devon this Saturday

For most ska fans 1980 had to be the year. The music of The Specials along with Madness, The Beat, The Selecter and Bad Manners were the sounds on your radio. Britain was a bleak place back then, and the music that brightened those days were sounds of the great 2 Tone bands. It didnโ€™t matter who you were or where you came from, it was a movement that united people and it continues to this day.
Fast forward 40 yearsโ€ฆ a once in a generation band comes along, a band to inspire the next one. A band that makes you forget about all that is wrong with world. That band is 2 Rude, a band driven by a passion for music.
