The Specials reunite

Terry Hall plans to reform The Specials and tour in September or October, after reuniting with Lynval Golding at Glastonbury last year.

OK, two reunion news stories today, decide for yourselves which one you want to get most excited about. First up, ska legends The Specials are planning to get back together proper, and by that I mean fronted by Terry Hall, who quit the band at their height way back in 1981.

Hall's decision to go back into business under The Specials banner follows his on stage reunion with former Specials and Fun Boy Three bandmate Lynval Golding at Glastonbury last year, and, he says, is motivated in part by other successful reunions of recent years, most notably Pixies.

He added yesterday: "We're still trying to put dates together, but hopefully we'll tour September/October time. We need to spend the summer rehearsing. I think it's taken me 30 years to realise we could do it really well".
