The Specials tour 2009 !
Discussion
Well I never thought I would see the day! The Specials are touring April/May next year 
30 years since they started, the music has stood the test of time and the lyrics are as relevent today as back then.
Dig out your pork pie hat and go dance the night away!
Tickets are available from 9 a.m. tomorrow and demand is expected to be high.

They're playing Glasto.
Can't wait, they're a must see.
I think we can guarantee that they'll make a better job of performing 'A Message to you Rudy' than Amy Winehouse did last year...Can't wait, they're a must see.

Perhaps next time you should go as opposed to staying in to watch 'Britain's Got Talent' Mr Armchair Pundit.te on Jules Holland.

Firstly, I've seen the Special when they were....'Special' secondly, I don't need to go to know that they can't cut it anymore and are only doing this for the money. If it's not about the money how come Simon Jordon is putting it together? Thirdly, & most importantly, Gerry Dammers ain't even appearing & he IS the Specials!

Jordon is Terry Halls manager which is the reason he is involved.
And they can still cut it mate, Horace's bass sounds better than ever and Lynval is jumping around like a teenager, they are having fun this time rather than the extremes of pressure that caused the split the first time around.
Jerry was the founder of the SpecialS I agree and he started the Two Tone label but the Specials are more than one person,they would not sound the same without Terry either, and remember Jerry did not write the big hits, they wer either covers or mainly composed by Roddy.
Roll on Sunday
