Film director What moment from your height of fameare you most proud of, the moment that provides the legacy of the Specials in years to come? Horace: Ghost Town getting to No 1. Terry: Yes, I’d go with that. It was an unbelievably brilliant finale to what we’d done for a few years, and every band should fold after Ghost Town really, because what e...
Film director I remember going to see you in concert and you getting about 10 seconds into Ghost Town and stopping dead and pointing at some guy in the crowd, and saying: ‘If we don’t get those Nazis out of here we’re not going on with this song.’ And then waiting until they were removed.

Lynval: I was born in Saint Catherine, Jamaica… Terry: And he’s off… Lynval: This man was crippled and he sat in front of this house in the village, where I come from, this brownstone house, on a mat. He died and I went down to the river with my sink pan on my hea...
Singer, Sleaford Mods One thing I find with accomplishment is that it can feel so insignificant overall, but I know that’s something to do with bouts of depression. Do you feel this sometimes about what you’ve done and still do as musicians? Terry:It does matter, really, and even when it doesn’t matter, it still matters. People see success as getti...
In my opinion you’re the best band to grace this world. Which song do you still love banging out the most? Lee Griffiths, via email Lynval: I like Nite Klub. It’s a bit of a naughty one: “I won’t dance in a club like this/ All the girls are slags/ And the beer tastes just like piss.” It’s what we guys, when we get together, we talk about. We don’t ...
