I guess it was always going to happen, it's been on the cards for the last 5 or so years, according to rumour. Good luck to them, they deserve the payday. And it sounds like if Jerry's not there it will be because the others don't want him and his desire to be in charge.

Well, Jerry does say that it will take a lot of hard work and at the moment they haven't had a rehearsal with the full band. I recently reformed my old band Thee Strawberry Mynde after splitting up 10 years ago. So I know just how much work The Specials will need to put in. We've been rehearsing every week since February and won't be ready to gig again till July. So, unless something changes with The Specials I can't seem them touring this year especially since one of the band now lives in America.

I was at a gig by Roddy Radiation & The Skabilly Rebels on Saturday night at The Studio in Hartlepool. During the gig Roddy said that The Specials reunion is going ahead next year.

Thats great news Bazza. Heard today on Talksport that they already have 3 nights booked at the Brixton Academy. Would prefer to see them in a smaller venue like the Mean Fiddler or Islighton Academy personally.

Would love to see Chris & Nick back together. I don't think there's much chance of that. Does anyone know where Nick is these days or what he has done musically since the Redskins? It was only when I was putting together the Redskins tribute CD 'Reds Strke The Blues' and had to pay the songwriters fees that I found out that Nick's real surname is Cheel and not King.

The following was posted by Roddy Byers (aka Roddy Radiation) on his forum today -
"Right you asked for it! I think a reunion of the Original Specials is pratically impposible .. Terry,Lynval and Horace refuse to work with Jerry.. Jerry will only do it if hes has total control.. Im wee weeed off with the lot of them.. Brad seems to be joining the without Jerry camp.. Nevelle is saying nothin? Me im out Skabillin* If this makes yer mad imagine how i feel!"
"Im not involed with any of it! It seems a Terry Hall ,n, friends band will be out there giging sometime soon. Guess i was never meant to be Rich,n,Famous? But ild rather be Sane ,n, Broke."
