Terry Hall

Solo career so underrated. 'Home'  was wonderful. One of the cassette tapes on family drives.

Terry Hall of The Specials.
Devastated  Cry I was massively into the whole Ska revival. Loved the Specials, Fun Boy Three & Colourfield. Didn’t follow his solo career so much, but as soon as the Specials reformed & toured I was there like a shot.

I even had my hair cut like his - must dig out a photo…

RIP Terry 🕴

Not really my precise musical cup of tea, but always present and that early 2-Tone scene was hugely important - musically, politically, socially.  I think the only time I ever saw Terry was with the Colourfield at Glastonbury ('85?) but I have vague memories of a guest appearance at a mid-80s GLC bash too.  Will be much missed and far too friggin' early.  Btw, the first reunited Specials album was an unexpected corker...  Thinking of You, indeed...

Happy/Sad about Shirley Watts.  What a fab couple they were.

[Btw, there is some stuff online about Martin Duffy of Felt/the Primals...hope that's not true]

Nice touch during the cricket this morning. The trumpeter in the crowd was playing Ghost Town.

Horace Panter has posted on FaceBook that Terry Hall had pancreatic cancer that spread to his liver. An awful fate.  Cry

Neil Young's version is superb. The perfect closing song on Comes A Time which is one of my favourite NY records. Must admit I don't know anything else by Ian Tyson.
