Great to see Boney M on vcls as well. Cracking versions, would almost (ALMOST OK) putting Nelson back inside so we could hear it again. and who says we shouldnt mix politics with music BOLLIX.

Corker! Ta v much for posting that. (Dave n Rog had the moves down, Elvis looked darn awkward but sang beautifully). The louche lounge sound of J Dammers in excelsis. The man's a genius.

Boney M ... Nanker, go gargle n spit, mate!

Indeed!

It's likely to be 2 nights, by the way ...

They've booked the 24th at the 100 Club too. That will be advertised nearer the date. Details to follow.

Just heard that The Specials are doing another UK tour in November/December. Expect dates in Wolves, Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Gazzaville, Cardiff, and a few more London shows - possibly Brixton Academy again.

great news, mate - Gazza should be pleased, too!

Hello,

@#$%& great news.
Oi,iTunes!
Too Much Too Young.
Now!

Cheers,

Si.

I'll let you all know the full details as and when I have them. The tour is currently being booked. I might just go over to Belfast to see Gazza skanking.

Gazza in a pork-pie, DM's, braces, skanking with the Rude Boys,
is my kind of night!

Great news. Hope they come back to brum and the coventry ricoh again.

Right, all you rude boys and rude girls ....

The Specials will be touring the UK and Ireland in November/December.

Dates may be announced as early as next week, with tickets going on sale either this Friday or next Friday.

Expect them to play towns they missed in April - Wolverhampton is a definite (a mate who works at the Civic emailed me to say they'd booked it for two shows in November). Cardiff, Brighton, Edinburgh and more London gigs are on the agenda. I think there'll be a tour of continental Europe in October.

So dust your boots and braces off, Gazza and get ready to start STOMPIN' ...
