Terry Hall of The Specials dies aged 63

Saw him in the Fun Boy Three March 1983 at Leeds Uni. We got there early for the sound check and followed him Lynval & Neville into the common room watching Final Score. We asked Neville if we could have the Two Tone Tour T-Shirt he was wearing, as he started to take it off Terry shouted at him "Don't give them that! We're not the Specials anymore!"

Got my revenge on the tour's return to Sheffield where I managed to be at the front and took ownership of his drum stick he left laying on the floor! It's somewhere in my mum's garage now with all my vinyl.

Also from the Leeds gig I manged to be in the photo they used for the "Our lips are sealed" single.

I'm always scouring photos of the 1969 Isle of Wight festival to see if I can find me. Nearest to fame I'll ever get.
