As bass player with the Specials, in his second-hand suit and pork
pie hat, Horace Panter was a member of one of the most innovative
and exciting bands to come snarling out of the punk era. Founded by
Jerry Damners, their fusion of punk, reggae and ska created a new
musical fashion, spearheaded by their own record label Two Tone.
They stood for unity and racial harmony in a polarised society.
They even got British men dancing again. In Ska'd for Life Horace
takes the reader on a musical odyssey with the Specials from their
early days on Coventry's punk circuit to chart storming success
with singles like 'Too Much Too Young' and the eerily prescient
'Ghost Town', released as the race riots saw Toxteth and Brixton go
up in flames. Written with wry humour, taking an affectionate look
at a band whose sublime music remains influential today, this is a
must for all Specials fans. 'I found myself laughing out loud
whilst revisiting some long forgotten memories . . . It was a
fantastic journey and I thank Horace for sharing it' Lynval Golding
