So the Specials are playing in Ireland this weekend for the first time in god knows how many years. I'm not going, because it's at an outdoor festival and I don't do outdoor festivals any more. This is a legacy of my former music business job, when I used to have hospitality passes for every outdoor festival I went to. You just can't go back to long queues for shite beer and portaloos after that. Even if it means missing the Specials.
The appalling thing about this gig, anyway, is that they aren't even the headliners. They're "opening" up for the Killers and Razorlight. Razorlight! FFS. Well I'm sure Terry Hall (who I love, did I mention that?) will give them the welcome they deserve.
Still my favourite.
