Ska icons pull out of Douglas gig

Fans left disappointed on day of show

Ska fans have been left disappointed after a last-minute change to a headline show at the Villa Marina tonight.

British 2-tone legends The Beat and The Selecter were due to play a double headline concert this evening.

But the former's frontman, Ranking Roger, has 'unexpectedly taken ill' according to the band's management.

The band has apologised to all fans, and now only The Selecter will perform.

Local support act Buncha Skankers will also play an extended set.

Doors for the show will now open tonight at 7pm, with support starting at 8pm and The Selecter taking to the stage at 9pm.
