Bernie Rhodes Knows . . . Don't Argue !

The Specials are my most favorite band ever ! I first heard them at around the age of 12 or 13 and have been hooked ever since , i actually liked them after they were cool in the late 70s / early 80s and before they became cool again recently ! I remember kids at school taking the piss out of me. Oh well you cant help what you like.Ive seen them play live twice , once at the Hammersmith Apollo and once at the Cliffs Pavilion , Southend On Sea , the latter being the better of the two performances, growing up 20 odd years after the band split i never  thought id get the privilege of seeing them perform live. The Specials were much more than just a band , they were a way of life for so many of Britain's kids.
