The Specials
I went with Pete and a couple of other Basingstoke boys to watch The Specials last night, it was a cracking performance, they are a great band musically and lyrically I really enjoyed it even though I couldn't quite identify with parts of it, I think I know why.Something that really stood out about last night was the multi ethnic audience all dancing in harmony. Not anything odd about that in 2009, but The Specials achieved that in 1979, firstly ...
