The Specials Ltd

When The Specials fractured and split in 1981, they left behind a musical legacy which has arguably remained unrivalled. The band pioneered a multicultural, anti-racial ethos and created an unique image and sound which combined punk, ska and reggae music with an acerbic lyrical commentary on the state of Thatcher’s Britain in the late 70’s and early 80’s. With the sad loss of Terry Hall at way too young an age, the band are no longer active but The Specials LTD faithfully recreate their passion and energy, bringing back memories to those who were there first time around and showing younger fans what they missed.
