A few years back i brought a load of two tone Memorabilia off a guy who said he brought it off a guy who knew someone who had something to do with running the two tone fan club .
there some interesting stuff there , but what i thought was great is there was a compeStrawberry Sauceion run in 1980 for the fans to send in lyrics they like the specials to sing , there are quite a few from people there some are quite good . did anyone here belong to the fan club and enter that compeStrawberry Sauceion as most of the entrants were around 15/16 years old and did you roddy ever get to see the entries all even play any. and who is two tone tess?

My bunch were to old for teenage fan clubs at that time, and too cool for 'em when we were teenagers.  |

i was just about to leave school in 79 when i got into two tone never herd about the fan club until years later, i was to busy enjoying myself nite clubbing beer woman and more beer , its a shame you guys were never involed but like you say it says it all. makes you wonder how many other things he did you guys never knew about. these days in a way i spose the www.thespecials.com is the modern fan page keeping us in touch with whats going on or not. |

The fan club was run by Leigh,(AKA 2Tone Tess),cousin or sister to Jane Bayley who was lead singer in Swinging Cats. The newsletters were good fun.Collectors items now. Were released at weird times, I got one from the club after it was all over for 2Tone...  |
