    Was keeping an eye on this for the last year or so, briefly forgot about it and then heard that about 2 weeks ago Terry Hall announced it officially. Fantastic news, (even if Jerry Dammers isn't on board :( ) although sadly no sign of an Irish date yet. Terry Hall also said that he would prefer to play smaller venues like they used to as opposed to big stadiums, so maybe vicar street could be on the cards if they ever made it over here. :cool:

    Their songs are more relevant now than when they came out - Ghost Town, Do Nothing, Working for the Rat Race, Too Much Too Young.

    I think Terry Hall said that himself actually, especially with the current situation in the UK. I've heard rumours that they're doing an Irish show in April but cannot get an official confirmation anywhere.

    This doesn't sound good though: http://www.nme.com/news/the-specials/41569
