A Gentleman and a Ska-ler with Horace Panter (The Specials, General Public, The Dirt Road Band)

A Gentleman and a Ska-ler with Horace Panter (The Specials, General Public, The Dirt Road Band)

(Do I really need to write any show notes after coming up with that title?)

It's time to pick it up with Horace Panter (nickname: Sir Horace Gentleman), the man whose elastic lines launched generations of skanking acolytes. From their shambolic/iconic "Saturday Night Live" performance in 1980 all the way through waves of reunion tours that ended after the untimely death of singer Terry Hall in 2022, the Specials created a sound and energy that continue to inspire Coachella headliners and rudeboys alike. Horace regales us with his life in music and offers up pearls of wisdom for aspiring players, too.
