6 Music Artist Collection
Terry Hall and The Specials
The 2Tone Story
1 hour
As part of an Artist Collection paying respect to the late great Terry Hall, Dave Marshall Barrett shows how The Specials and The Selecter put Coventry on the musical map. He chats to members of the 2 Tone movement, including Terry and bandmates, including Jerry Dammers, revisiting the places and the people who created a musical phenomenon.
They share stories about the early gigs, the creation of the front cover of The Selecter’s single, made up from cuttings carefully placed then knocked out of place by Jerry’s dog! They talk about how the band got their name; the good times and, heartbreakingly, the bad times.
