About this event
Mod legends Purple Hearts celebrate the 45th anniversary of their seminal debut LP 'Beat That!'.
Purple Hearts were formed in 1978 after the demise of The Sockets, their previous band. The band's debut single 'Millions Like Us' hit the UK charts and was swiftly followed by 'Frustration' and 'Jimmy' before they released the 'Beat That!' LP on Fiction Records in 1980.
Along with The Jam, Secret Affair and The Chords, Purple Hearts were one of the most important bands of the 'Mod Revival' which took over the nation's youth in the late 70s and early 80s.
Purple Hearts have recently returned to tour the UK supporting From The Jam to rave reactions and reviews and we are delighted to welcome them here for their Ropetackle debut!
