Give us a history lesson Lynval! <BR/><BR/>Who taught him to play guitar?<BR/><BR/>Were the Equals in any way an influence on him as a kid? Has he ever shared a stage with Eddie, Derv or Lincoln?<BR/><BR/>And does he keep in touch with Saxa from the Beat? How is he?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the opportunity to ask, Marco!<BR/><BR/> - Ian in the Mountains of Canadabiopunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614894519622906554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-37631024264201455422008-11-27T19:47:00.000-05:002008-11-27T19:47:00.000-05:00Hi Liam - Thanks very much for the questions.

I do plan to ask Lynval about both Sunday Best and FB3.Marco On The Basshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874620674573034354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-35993830898663118842008-11-27T16:20:00.000-05:002008-11-27T16:20:00.000-05:00Hey Marco!

Can't wait to learn more about the 'CTB' era of The Selecter.<BR/><BR/>Lyunval seems like such a nice guy. I saw him play with Pama International at the Boss Sounds reggae festival a couple of years ago. I was looking at the record stalls there and noticed Lynval. Obviously, I went up to meet him. Before I could say anything he noticed my Beat t-shirt and said 'Hey you have the t-shirt. I just did a tour with Dave Wakeling and Pauline Black'. Needless to say I was speechless!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I was wondering if you could ask Lynval some (or all) of the following:<BR/><BR/>Which bands and/or musicians has he most been inspired by throughout his career?<BR/><BR/>How did the Sunday Best collaboration with Pauline Black come about? Were there any plans for any more Sunday Best singles or an lp?<BR/><BR/>Why did the 'Guilty 'Til Proved Innocent' lp not see a proper UK release?<BR/><BR/>Everyone always asks about the Specials but no-one seems to mention Fun Boy Three. I think they were amazing. Could you ask about the first Fun Boy Three recordings and about recording the 'Waiting' album with David Byrne? I can never find any info on Fun Boy 3!<BR/><BR/>Plans for the future (other than the Specials tour(fingers crossed!!)?<BR/><BR/>If the Specials do tour, any chance of playing 'Why?' This song still needs to be heard today. Especially with the rise of the BNP in the UK.<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>Liam Curtin, Cardiff, Wales, UK.<BR/><BR/>liam_ska@hotmail.comLiam_Skahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689660324403399785noreply@blogger.com
