Is this the original line up?, I heard that Terry Hall et al, were getting back together a couple of years ago, then nothing happened. I saw Neville Staples' The Specials at Phoenix one year, they were good but not the same with out Terry and the rest.

Thought it a bit odd that Jery Dammers was stage side at the recent festival show and didnt join in. Seems he is not joining in for this either.
And not playing Coventry is sinfull!

Details of a special hometown show in Coventry are yet to be announced according to their website.

Got to hang out with them on the Seaside tour with The Go-Go's and The Bodysnatchers.
They stayed-and were subsequntly banned-from the White Hart Hotel in Boston because they were playing at The Sands club in Skegness.

Oh well, as long as the wonderfully named
Roddy Radiation is in the line up I'll be happy.

Nope my tickets are for the Thursday which was the last night (last night!) but it looks like 11th is currently the last night unless they add more (unlikely for London)
