Artists
Recording Artists
These are the artists who have releases on the Go Feet label.
-
Founders and focal point of the Go Feet label. They were launched into stardom with their hit single on the 2 Tone label, but ended up being the only band on the 2 Tone roster to thrive on the charts beyond its decline.
-
The Jamaican roots reggae duo whose classic album (recorded by the legendary Lee Perry) was given an opportunity to reach later generations by a reissue on Go Feet. Many more would follow.
-
After The Congos trio split, Cedric Myton continued on as the frontman of his own band.
-
Female-fronted pop/rock that rose through the UK independent music scene where they eventually had the luck of crossing paths with The Beat.
-
A collaboration of Pato Banton and Ranking Roger that started on Go Feet and would continue be revisited well beyond The Beat's demise.
Potential Artists
These are other artists who pursued a place on the Go Feet label but, for one reason or another, never made it on the lineup.

Wham!That's right. According to Dave Wakeling, Wham! (a hugely successful '80s pop duo consisting of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) had in their early days submitted a demo to the Beat. Interestingly the demo had a cover of "Can't Get Used To Losing You" before the Beat had released a recording of it. Dave, however, tells that he was completely unaware of the demo until some time much later. Michael and Ridgely began performing together in a ska band by the name of The Executive. After the band broke up, the two founded Wham! and eventually went on to find stardom on the pop charts.
