The Specials (Irish dates?)

[moose]

Support for the Brixton Academy gig on 11th March is by Lynvals 'other' band, the excellent Pama International who are seriously worth a google / youtube

Are you going Jon, if so you are in for a real treat. The support at Brum was another Cov band called The Ripps. Vague rumours on the Specials fans website that Jerry will be at Brixton......

Are you going Jon, if so you are in for a real treat.

I'm counting down the days. I missed them first time around, and there's only 12 days to go (or something) I've heard nothing but rave reviews, can't wait!

The Specials home coming, Coventry tonight.
Rude boy Rude boy......

and it should be brilliant, Moose - the Brixton gig that I saw was out of this world, I have a boot from the Manchester Gig that hasn't been changed in over 5 days, you should enjoy yourself.

Philip, as always you take it to the next level

The Gig itself was again outstanding, 8500 people going wild....well me and Mrs Moose were anyway :
i think the Brum gig has just edged it though, more up close and personal, Pogues, please take note
Time for bed, its later than i think......

Jerry Dammers is going to be at Madstock. That goes some way to satisfying me not getting tickets for the Specials.

So --

The Pogues

Christ. If someone digs up Mick Jones from whatever crack den he's lying in at the moment, this would be the greatest gathering of surviving rock 'n' roll ever.

Just thought I'd let any Specials' fans know that there's a free live cd in this week's edition of the Sunday times - taken from the recent tour. Personally, I'm over the moon and I hope anyone who reads this will be of a similar disposition!!!

[MissWalshy]

Great - thanks so much !!

Hm. Sounds good, but I have a fundamental objection to giving my money to the Murdoch press. Is there any way to acquire the CD without having to buy that bloody newspaper?

I shall be asking my newsagent for something from the top of the tobacco shelf while I retrieve my copy of the cd

[MissWalshy]

I can burn you a copy Firehazard? Best not to be a thief... *cough, like Jon, cough*.
