Coventry Telegraph Publish Souvenir Supplement To Mark The Specials 30th Reunion Tour - Band Plans Additional UK/Europe and US Tours


To mark The Specials first show in Coventry in 30 years, The Coventry Telegraph newspaper asked Peter Chambers (noted Coventry music expert) to write a 12 page supplement about the band that the paper published on Friday May 15th (that's band drummer John Bradbury having a look at the insert).

The supplement is a fantastic historical overview of the band and their place in Coventry music history. It also includes a few news worthy items including Horace Panter saying the band is in the process of confirming additional UK and European dates this Fall and a trip to the US (which is being planned for 2010). In case you missed it, the supplement is now available as a download and is definitely a keepsake for any fans of the band.

    I'm not so sure you can actually download the supplement as much as read it online. If you live in the UK you can contact the newspaper and they will mail you a copy.
