Terry Hall’s beatifically unsmiling mug has been a part of our musical heritage for longer than we care to remember. From delivering biting social commentary with the Specials, through Fun Boy 3, Colourfield, a dizzying array of collaborations and back to the Specials again. Anyone who was lucky enough to see the (Very) Specials on their recent tour would have seen a rejuvenated band having a blast and enjoying their music, we swear Terry smiled too. A Terry Hall DJ set is something we’re very excited about, if you caught his set at The Hare & Hounds last July you’ll know what we mean. Never predictable, his is a musical lineage without compare, and to have a little glimpse into the tunes that make the great man tick is always a lot of fun. In support are mod band The GTs with The Night Owl residents keeping the good vibes going till the early hours.
