Searching through endless photos for an exhibition of 2Tone artists to accompany Daniel Rachel's book talk at April's Freedom Sounds Festival, I find myself missing The Specials' live shows, and Terry Hall, and his wit, and meeting up with the lovely people of Tonic Music.

Follow by a tribute play to the late, great Terry Hall.

Such a brilliant song. Based on Lloyd Charmers’ Birth Control but made unforgettable by #TheSpecials #TerryHall #TooMuchTooYoung https://youtube.com/watch?v=rdu8VOWk3pg&feature=share

Naar aanleiding van de dood van Terry Hall (The Specials) nog eens naar het grijsgedraaide #GhostTown en #Gangsters luisteren en plots beseffen dat je nog veel meer nummers van hen kent zonder de link te leggen (terwijl ze wel een herkenbare sound hebben).
