the specials

[elderado]

Does anyone know if there is any truth in the rumours that the specials are reforming.

It may say on remembertheeighties.com. That site has a lot of useful info about current tours of bands and individuals who were at their prime in the 80s.

I just took a peek and apparently there is to be a tour in the early autumn but dates yet to be announced.

I read in the paper that they rehearsed together for the first time since the early 80s, so I`m guessing they are planning a comeback tour

Yip.

I'm pretty sure I saw The Specials last year. Do you mean a full reform with all members?

[jedimistress]

No silly me, that was The Selecter sorry. I saw Neville Staples though and he was magic. So full of beans.

think there's something about a Two Tone revival...the Selecter, Specials, Madness, Bad Manners, the Beat and Special AKA........

Oh goody! There's hope for Elvis and Freddie then!
