After the global success of Beefy's Top 30 of 2024 Countdown, it seemed a shame not to play the a selection of the tracks that were on Beefy's shortlist, but didn't quite make it onto the chart......

It's the World's #1 Ska Radio Show for a reason!

2024 has proved to be one of very high quality and it was a tough job narrowing the field down to the Top 30. These selections are still full of diversity, jam packed with different styles and different beats, new tone ska-punk takes and a stark reminder that old-skool is cool!

This first chunk of tracks will still get you on your feet and skanking around like there's no tomorrow!
