Paintyface, if you can't get over the water, they are playing the Oxygen festival down south. As a fellow Belfast-dweller, I'm disappointed too, but I got to see them in Brixton last month, and it was probably the best gig I've ever seen, so do what you can to get to one of the gigs.

I would love there to be amity and comity in The Specials camp but there's no denying that the comeback shows were absolutely incredible, with levels of energy and excitement that shame plenty of younger bands. And much as I love 'In The Studio' I can do without 'Racist Friend' or 'War Crimes' in the set.
