JRT - Keith Chegwin - LOL! Good spot but that is Billy Bremner.
Interesting - many thanks. I am familiar with Jonathan Shorland's Welsh pipes and saw the similarity but I had not seen a set with a second drone like that.
I was in my teens when 2-tone and the Specials were in the charts - I really didn't like them.
What on earth was I thinking? They really are a cut above and a stupendously enjoyable experience!!
