The Specials or more specifically the classic version of the band reunited for a 30th anniversary tour.
Terry Hall, Neville Staple and Horace Panter left in 1981 to form the Fun Boy Three just after they reached number one with the song Ghost Town
Sadly one of the original founders of the group Jerry Dammers is not part of the reunion. However to new age ska fans the televised concert is a chance to relive the days of the late 1970s and 1980s as they rattle through some of their top hits.
Staple and Panter look pleased to be back on stage, Hall still looks miserable but I only recently learned that he suffers from depression. Britain might have moved on but the songs still carry relevance.
