Background notes
Archive material and source history
The 241ers came out of Coventry in the early 1980s, part of that British ska revival. They had a sound that mixed Jamaican rhythms with punk's edge and a bit of music hall humor. Their song 'Little Town of Bethlehem' became a seasonal staple, showing how they could wrap social commentary in catchy tunes.
They released albums like 'The 241ers' in 1981, 'There Ain't No Santa Claus on the Moon' the next year, and 'Gone to Earth' in 1983. Other tracks like 'Ronnie Goes To Heaven' and 'The Ballad Of Ronald Timbers' continued their blend of satire and ska.
The band's lineup included Terry Hall on vocals, Neville Staple handling toasting and vocals, and Jeremy Davies on drums. Their lyrics often touched on political themes, and they were involved in various activist causes during that period.
