Coventrys Jailhouse had an excellent ska night on last month including most of The Specials and Pauline Blacks Selector
Rumour has it that Terry Hall and Jerry Dammers WILL reform The Specials this year in lieu of the 25th anniversary. I certainly hope so...............although shite like Bad Manners can fuck right off with their poxy Can Can song

Mr Dammers is a very under-rated musician. A FANTASTIC innovator. A rare thing these days............he still has his 'toothy' smile.........or rather, a massive gap where his front four should be!!
