The music business doesn't leave much room for feeling.

Regarding support acts: are there plans for non-Ska bands in the mix?

WOULD BE BETTER!! i'd agree w/ this as well... the night is about you guys... a good DJ could have a field day playing like minded sounds and exploring the varied genres that inspired the specials sound (from ska to rockabilly, reggae, punk, whatever...)... as long as it's OG... none of this re-mixed, big beat, BS...

Well Roddy seems like all gigs now sold out , did you all think you would cause such a stir ? It must give you all a good feeling to know how much people wanted to see this happen ?

Well i thought we would be wanted again, but even i was shocked at the responce* But im sure alot of people have no idear what we stood for or what we are about.. We are just a nice multi-racial band who tell the youth to behave themselves to some people who wouldnt know punk rock even if it bit them on the A.S.S!
