I have to say that the two supports act were really good as well, especially The Stone Foundadtion. If they appear down this way again, i will be there. Top Northern Soul! Reminded me of early Dexy's!
The following is an official statement regarding the November 4th NME article on the recent Specials' tour:
"In response to the November 4th NME article citing Roddy “Radiation” Byers’ alleged decision to leave the Specials, Mr. Byers would like to make it clear that he has not, in fact, left the Specials. Any previous statements quoted in the articles that were made by Mr. Byers regarding leaving the Specials were in reaction to Terry Hall’s public statements in August 2011 about disbanding after this last tour, and have nothing to do with the recent decision by Mr. Hall and other members to continue on. Byers is still planning to be involved in all future Specials’ music and tours, and is looking forward to seeing the Specials’ fans in front of the stage once more.
