    I have to admit I had some reservations about last nights gig having seen them being less than impressive on Later With Jools Holland recently. I was very, very wrong. They did a fantastic set; chocka block full of old classics delivered with energy and verve. If you can bag a ticket on E-bay for any of their shows on this tour do so. An absolute treat. Anyone else go?

    No but was at Donny station last night and saw lots of pairs of blokes dressed up

    waiting for Sheffield train, thought to mi sen "must be a gig on in Sheff" coz they were wearing funny shoes, fred perry's and had big sideburns

    For a moment i panicked and though is Sir Bob playing tonight, but then realised it must be Specials and Dylan is indeed tonight where i will be taking my place a mere 8 rows from the front

    "Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
    Bring me my boots and shoes
    You can hang back or fight your best on the frontline
    Sing a little bit of these workingman's blues"

    Gutted I missed it. I saw Madness a couple of years ago and they were fantastic. Chose to get standing tickets and was so glad I did; it was just like being back in 1982 all over again (Y)
