6 Music Artist Collection

Terry Hall and The Specials

Terry Hall presenting on 6 Music

Duration: 2 hours

First broadcast: on 6 MusicLatest broadcast: on 6 Music

Following the sad passing of Terry Hall, another chance to hear Specials frontman Terry Hall as a guest presenter on 6 Music in 2014. He came armed with a box of records carefully selected from his personal collection.

As frontman of The Specials Terry Hall represented a kind of detached, dry kind of cool totally at odds with other pop stars of the time. After leaving the band at the height of their fame in 1981 Terry went on to from Fun Boy Three and The Colourfield - before embarking on a multifarious career that's seen him work with Damon Albarn, Lily Allen, Sinead O'Connor and leap from style to style in way few artists do (or can). All while maintaining this deadpan sense of humour and his own unique vocal style. Show less
