Just watched the whole session tonight on Sky Arts Freeview channel. brilliant! I'm so happy I.got to see The Specials play with The Selector i when I was still living in Brighton..amazing!! The anti racist / inclusive message these guys have in their music was like fresh air in Brighton vile dystopian. late 70' s UK.. Ghost Town is one of the most powerful protest songs ever written ..I'm 56yr old Scouser & unashamedly far far left my entire life ,been an activist since the age of 13 ..I remember being at the women's peace camp at Greenham Common studying for my O' levels in a tent dancing like a nutter to two tone music Right the power! Remembering Terry Hall with 💘🌈✊xx
They have still got it yes..but it took a bit for me to shift the massive break...shock as a teen...they stopped.. .cambridge...but year's later camb back..happy as Larry 😇
Stop by for tea if you're ever in Las Cruces, NM. I have two acoustic guitars, shakers and clave sticks... and I learned to clap hands from the Roma back in the day. You gotta have at least a few songs with hand clap tracks. I'm a good whistler too. 😁
