What has happened to the Specials ?
Ok they haven’t recorded anything for 37 years , but on the One Show as I write , I wish they hadn’t bothered with this dross .
Tragic , one of my favorite bands have ended up coming to this  |

"They got old. Your vocal chords can't take the strain."
I actually think Terry Hall sang ok , it was the nature of the lyrics . The same rhetoric being recycled with the most boring beat and reggae type rhythm that could have been any old tribute band .
I remember the freshness that came when Elvis Costello produced their early stuff . Truly innovative and a reflection of the times . |

"They’ve just announced a tour and rather disappointingly, it doesn’t include a show in Coventry"
I would imagine the tour will be at old folks homes if tonight’s stuff is what’s on offer .
It’ll certainly beat ovaltine to help them get off to sleep . |

I wouldn't trust The Specials ever again. I collected all the tokens and never did get my free Nelson Mandela. Regarding your problem, OP - you could complain to the fan club, or just do nothing. |

That bad eh? Well if they do decide to do a gig here in Coventry it’s bound to be a sell out as it’s probably the only famous thing to come out of the city |

It was announced in the local paper today they are playing splendour, along with manic street preachers.
If you still lived round here you could get discounted tickets lol |
