I didn't like to say that, MR but Cathedral Lanes never did appeal to me. Roll eyes

If anyone is interested... Mark Osborne has finally been able to put back on his 'this is then' exhibition following delays with Covid - if you fancy it Rob?!

Just taken this one that's currently on The Specials website. It's another from the set on the roof of The Gaumont/Ellen Terry Building, this time looking west with the Graham Sutherland Building and Morris Works in the background.

BTW great night on Saturday watching The Specials at The Coventry Building Society Arena. Was surprised by how well attended it was given there are only Terry, Horace and Lynval as originals left playing (plus Lynval's son now plays with them as well). Terry was his usual cheerful self - even stated he was considering getting a timeshare in Hillfields, reflecting on his love for his hometown!

Thanks for the reminder Neil Cheers Watching the programme made me realise how partisan our musical tastes can be. My first place of employment was across the road (on East Street) from the Binley Oak, '74 to '80, and the 2Tone phenomenon just didn't interest me at all. My youngest brother, however, was a big fan of the Specials. I remember passing Terry Hall in town on more than one occasion and I think his 'Home' album is really good.

I loved it, especially being an Earlsdoner. I had the Harrington, Bergundy Sta-press and all the badges. I liked Terry's earlier punk band "Squad" too, although he never actually recorded with them IIRC. I always thought he was a miserable so 'n' so, however only recently read about a terrible incident that occurred to him during his youth, so it's no wonder he never appeared happy.

Mark Osborne is exhibiting his photo collection again for anyone who is interested in the old Cov Music scene. This time at the LTB. Well worth a visit - this is then.

The 2-Tone Village have just posted this one to FB. Not sure I've seen it before, so interesting to see, not least because it appears Jerry still has his front teeth! Big grin

A friend of mine went to school with Jerry, and he told me that Jerry lost his teeth falling off a bike when he was still at school.

Has been mentioned a few times on here on different threads but great to see this snippet of footage just prior to the Rock Against Racism gig at The Butts in '81. Mainly an interview with Terry and Lynval but great to see the old Track at the start with the wooden Stands - just as I remember it.

I thought I'd added this one before but here's Jerry outside 51 Albany Road - aka 2-Tone HQ. It's barely changed tbh.
