The Specials
The reformed Coventry ska squad could hardly be bringing their multicultural message and political rhetoric to the British people at a more apposite time, when voters in the north of England have seen fit to elect a couple of racists to represent them in Europe.
That, doubtless, will be the opinion expressed by Terry, Neville and their chums when they follow their recent dates (which included Glasgow’s O2 Academy) and forthcoming festival appearance (including T in the Park) with a further baker’s dozen of gigs in the autumn, including an appearance at Edinburgh's Corn Exchange on November 12. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday June 12.
