Well the Specials forum is like stiring a wasp nest at the moment.. As ive said before i didnt think that gig should of been our first-never liked Festivals - playin outside especially when its raining. But it went really well and this is just the begining! My backs killin me, i slipped down the ferry stairs on the friday going over..got two very large black,n,purple bruises. Tour wounds again..

hi roddy how does it feel being the guitarist for Terry Hall's backing band instead of the THE SPECIALS.

I was wondering how it would actually turn out and from the footage it looks better than I hoped for. Even better than originally by equalling your younger days without any age baggage ruining / changing things. You all must've been rehearsing round the clock to get to that level - including your sleep! Hopefully the next step will be for you all and Jerry to find some middle ground and laugh it all off next year. If not I think you definitely don't have any problems. I know I could say that anyway, but the energy / sound / spirit / chemistry still looks natural not strained, tired, out of place or detracting from what you've done before or since.
