Peaky Blinders goes Two-Tone

[Johnno]

Just seen that Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, is doing a tv series set around the beginning of the Two-Tone scene in the Midlands.
Sounds ace to me.
Sorry if this is old news, but I know we’ve plenty of posters on here that will be as excited as I am about it!

That looks interesting. Remember the 2-Tone Tour seeing The Specials, The Selecter and Madness up at Lancaster University way back when in 1979. Had a thing for Pauline Black back then too.

From the brief article I read, there’s going to be plenty of people involved who were there from the beginning.

My lad was in a local Ska band a few years back, met Pauline a few times and says she’s a top lass.
She’s on Pointless celebs tomo.

Nice one, shes active on social media too - on facebook (as is Terry Hall on instagram, who is still very private though still with very strong opinions)

Thanks for the Pointless info! Don't watch tv much nowadays but have set my tv to watch!

Yes , remember the Two Tone at Lancaster. I saw the Specials at the Mecca as well.I’ve seen Madness three times recently in Birmingham and still good . Also saw The Selecter and the Beat a couple of years ago and Pauline Black still looking good
