Roger Charlery, known professionally as Ranking Roger, has passed away at the age of 56.

Best-known for being a member in The English Beat (aka The Beat), he was an important figure in two-tone history - which is a genre of British music that is a mix of ska, punk and new wave.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what ska do you want to hear - first wave, two-tone, third wave - it's all fair game.
