Your Kind Of Music Monthly

The only monthly magazine dedicated to the Music and Stars of Rock‘n’Roll, R&B, Blues, and other music from the 50s to 80s

The Beat started in 2002 by David Parker who is still the Editor and Chief today.  Originally an A4 black and white magazine The Beat was printed in colour by 2012! The Beat now has a digital version along with the traditional printed version.

The Beat brings music fans up to date with what’s going on with their favourite bands and artists, exclusive interviews with the stars themselves, plus, reviews, competitions and special offers. The Beat is packed with information from our exclusive writers.

Now in its 20th year, April 2022 will mark 20 years of keeping The Beat’ beating. Yes that will be 240 issues, and not a ‘Beat’ missed. Some of our back issues are available to purchase in print.

Time has rushed by, but age and performing have not wearied them: from the biggest names to the not-so-big but talented artists and musicians, THE BEAT gets close to the players and the fans regularly, drawing them together.
