Inspired by The Pixies and all the other big reunions over the past few years, The Specials frontman Terry Hall said the band is in the midst of planning their own reunion tour.
“Well we’re still trying to put dates together, but hopefully September/ October time. We need to spend the Summer rehearsing… I think it’s taken me 30 years to realise we could do it really well.”

For the rude boy in all of us, February 12th sees the arrival of Too Much, Too Young, the DVD from Image Entertainment with a variety of music videos from everyone’s original kings of ska. There’s videos from The Specials, Special AKA, and two Super-8 films of the band performing in 1980. Click below for specifics.
Last weekend at Glastonbury, Lily Allen was joined by lead singer Terry Hall and guitarist Lynval Golding for a rendition of the group’s classic “Gangsters.” This was the first time the two have share the stage in almost twenty-two years (!!!) so check out the link and dance around your room/office building like a madman. Look closely and you can even spot Billy Bragg hopping around the side of the stage.
