Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

THE SPECIALS : Whiskey A Go Go, Los Angeles, 8/2/80


Acknowlegements to either Gobshyte or Sonchey for above artwork... I introduced this gig to the blog fraternity several months ago, courtesy of a very kind offer of the loan of an old C90 tape. As other blogs borrowed the audio file then I reckon its ok to re-use the excellent artwork in return.

This cracker is a requetsed repost - essential for any fan of the Specials & worth investigating by anyone who might not be (yet).

This is dedicated to all at the "bollocks" forum, espec Shan, Stacks, Dougal & Ally. Also to my eldest son, Dylan (already a confirmed Specials fan) who turns 5 today, Jan 16th.

                                                   Our Dylan, City v Wolves, 15/1/11.
Specials 8/2/80

    As regards The Specials today... I was delighted to be able to see 'em both nites in Manchester (May 3rd / 4th 2009). As for this winter's topur then I reckon I can take it or leave it. The issue has debated long & hard re Dammers - ultimately, The Specials without Jerry is like The Who without Townshend or the Stones lacking Keef... Nevertheless, I will take the great memories of the M/c Apollo to the grave. Even Mrs Skamanc was dancing to 'em...
