Two sold out gigs last weekend, pulling double duty with both @2RUDESKA and @LtdSpecials at The Fleece in Bristol and the Corn Exchange in Newport.
Both crowds were incredible, so grateful for everyone still coming to see us after all these years 🖤🤍 #2Rude #TheSpecialsLTD

Thanks for the lovely messages, folks. Here’s a quick clip of Madness’ ‘It Must Be Love’. Had a blast playing with the brilliant @2RUDESKA. Nothing but great memories of turning 50 after this! 🏁

Well, that was a blast! A pre New Years Eve gig with the superb 2Rude in Newport. With special guests the legendary Benji Webbe from Skindred… and me on the violin!
