The Specials to reunite for 2010 tour?

Postby dutchman » Fri Dec 18, 2009 1:58 am

Coventry group The Specials are apparently planning to reform in 2010 for a full-scale reunion tour.

Although the veteran ska group reunited for a clutch of sell-out concerts in 2008, keyboardist Jerry Dammers refused to join his former bandmates.

However, Madness frontman Suggs has since hinted that Dammers could be about to agree to tour with The Specials.

The singer told the Daily Star: "We have been talking about playing with The Specials this year, but the problem for us is that they haven't had Jerry Dammers in the band.

"We are pals with both camps so [we are] kind of caught in the middle. But there's now talk of us doing a massive festival next year together, and maybe a big tour."

You can post YouTube videos directly on here Peter. I've re-edited your original post to give you an example of how it's done. :)
