The Selecter were a 2 Tone ska revival band from Coventry, England, formed in the late 1970s. Like many other bands in the ska revival movement, The Selecter featured a racially mixed line-up. Their lyrics featured themes such as violence, politics and marijuana, set to strong melodies and a danceable beat. What set The Selecter apart from the other 2 Tone bands at the time was the songs of Neol Davies, the voice of Pauline Black and the pumping rhythms of Desmond Brown on the Hammond organ. The band's name is based on the term selector, which is a Jamaican word for disc jockey.

This four-piece band from Bishops Castle, Shropshire fuse together a modern stomping approach on the ska, rock, punk and indie genres. Fight The Bear’s sound is centered on infectious grooves with cheeky and colourful riffs alongside unique singing styles ranging from catchy shout along vocals to complex vocal harmonies. Taking influence from all styles of music from around the world, Fight The Bear always exhibit something interesting to listen to.

Hue & Cry are coatbridge brothers Patrick (vocals) and Greg (instruments) Kane, who have been recording and performing since the mid-to-late 1980s to the present day. The Kanes became known for both their creative jazz-pop style records and Patrick's distinctive, soulful voice (drawing strong similarities to Level 42 in both respects) - despite not achieving overwhelming commercial success, they are well respected by a large fanbase, and have recorded and released albums regularly (some of them failing to chart in the UK).
