Overview
The Specials LTD is a concert in St Helens, presented at The Citadel, under a name that refers to The Specials, the Coventry band behind the 2 Tone ska sound.
The Specials formed in Coventry in 1977 and became the leading group of the 2 Tone movement, which combined ska and rocksteady with punk energy and a mixed-race, politically engaged outlook. Key members of the original line-up included Terry Hall, Neville Staple, Lynval Golding and founder Jerry Dammers. Their debut single "Gangsters" appeared in 1979, and "A Message to You Rudy" and "Ghost Town", the latter a UK number one in 1981, remain their best-known songs.
The Specials LTD takes its name from that band, and the music of The Specials and the 2 Tone era is the reference point for this night.
The Citadel is a venue in St Helens that hosts concerts and shows, and the evening suits listeners who know the 2 Tone catalogue and its ska and rocksteady roots.
