Enjoyed every minute of the 2Tone era, still watch tribute bands and regularly listen to the music. It was short n sweet but worth it.

I still remember being a 10 year old with my crew cut and wearing my monkey boots, plus a badge with 'Don't Call Me Ska Face' on the black and white background with a silhouette of a rude boy.....man I was so proud of that badge 😆✌️ Being a kid growing up in the midlands during the early 80s, bands like the Specials and UB40 were a big deal 👍

Some of us never gave it up, still listen to me two tone, ska which is a genre of its own not incorrectly stated in the film as fusion of punk and reggae and northern soul... chasing 60 now and still the tunes are fresh to my ears :) A year later than this I myself ended up in a borstal in Redhill, 2 years Made in Britain was shown which was written on much of my casework as a rebel without a clue and in 84 a full documentary by Channel 4 was shown showing me in my skinheady punk glory that never gave up :D

There will never be anything greater than 2 -Tone music, it's influence is still out there today, it will never die, most of the 2 Tone bands are still going/touring in some shape or another. RIP Terry and Roger

I played that 'The Specials' album so many times it got worn down digitally on Spotify. I'm going to check out the TV series 'This Town' as it's got decent reviews. 5:05 just bumping into him in the street and chatting with him normally, you would never guess he's got those amazing piano skills.

I bought The Special's album, on the strength of the infectious A Message to you, Rudy. Some of it was quite... dour(?) Unhappy. Whatever, it was an introduction to old Jamaican music, none of which I'd ever heard before, and some of which I still have a great interest in. *Poor Terry Hall. I hope he is at peace, after what appears to have been a tough life.

Thatcher had barely been in power before this exploded so the nod to her felt a little disingenuous. Wouldn't this all have happened anyway? I often wonder how different the UK's music scene would have been under alternative political circumstances. Could Ghost Town have been written a few years later and have had the same initial impact, its legacy notwithstanding? All rhetorical questions!
