I'm 62 and was and still into 2 tone, ska. I go to see local ska and 2 tone bands. Also have seen the selecter, the beat, UB40 live. I still have original badges, pork pie hat, ect... This was a great era for me, and as long as I live, I'll keep going to gigs. Love it.
Terry Hall is a master, considering his life experiences he battled thru and changed my life for the better. Their records take me back to my best days, Ghost Town and International Jetset. When he started up Fun Boy 3, he just cracked it. It wasn't until recently that I discovered the real story behind the "School trip to France". This guy was my man hero..Toyah had my heart.
This is like the video tape that gets taped over time and time again with random bits of tv and self editing.. stop and pause to cut the adverts out... Kinda nostalgia in itself. I miss these times.
My dad and my uncle brought me up listening to two tone music absolutely loved singing along to this music and now I have my kids dancing/singing the best music 🎶
in 1980 me and my mod mates formed a band, we were huge fans of 9 below zero, and the purple hearts, we had several rehearsals, then came terrible news, our favorite bands had split up and was now called......the Truth, same name as we had chosen.
I remember Christmas 1980 and totp I got my nan dancing to the 2 tone hits of that year and she did love Geno, now I'm a grandad and there's no way I'd dance to the crap that they listened to today we was so lucky back then!!
I am leaving life with the joy of having been a teenager and youngster in the ‘80s...the best era for music...and the Dexys in my heart as the highest expression of human wonder... I love you Kevin...💋
I recall this being on Channel 4 one Saturday night in late 2000. These days we can watch this whenever we want online but 'streaming' was yet to come. What a buzz, footage I'd not seen since 1980. Happy times. All the 2 Tone bands had their own individual sounds and personality.
Seeing Dennis Greaves singing in The Truth reminds me of a time I went to see Nine Below Zero at the Slough Fulcrum in 1980 I believe. They had just performed at Reading Rock and had grown a large Rocker following. Me being a Mod at the time, it was very disconcerting being at a concert surrounded by extremely large leather clad persons. But I must say, they were great as we all had one thing in common....the fantastic 9 Below Zero

Life will never be the same without Terry Hall!😓
what a brilliant time for music we will never see anything as good again as the 2-tone ska era pure magic

I love Bad Manners The Beat and Madness..and the first...The Specials...thank you guys for making this music for us all to enjoy.
Lucky enough to be at the Lanch (Coventry Poly) when Two Tone was in its heyday. (1979-82)

Loved this era. I lived in London as a 13 year old kid who immigrated in Dec 79 from New Zealand with my family.
Best music era ever! So glad to have experienced it and still love it today 🙌
The clothes the music the people, it’s not gone and never be forgotten 😎
Love it all!!! 2 tone 👍👍
