What a fantastic night. Having already seen them in B’ham, in April this year, I didn’t think they could play any better. I was wrong. The atmosphere,the venue and The Specials were incredible. Lets hope they come back for more of the same next year and for some years to come. Brilliant.

What an evening it was. Firstly the MC was brilliant playing some classic Reggae and Ska tunes while the venue filled up. Secondly support band Pama International entertained us before the main event. Then after a 50 minute wait it kicked off behind a huge white sheet. The rest is as they say history. Neville Staples the original Rude Boy skanked across the stage with the same energy as he did when i first saw them in the late 70′s. Lets hope theres more to come over the next few years, possibly with Jerry Dammers back in the line up.
