Watched some of the Specials set in the Hermits Cave earlier... looked good.

JD has probably just been more careful with his money than the rest of them. But who really cares about the keyboard player anyway?



Dammers was the driving force behind The Specials, writing most of the songs and was also involved in the production side. I just thought it was a shame they couldn't sort out their differences (was it over money?) - life's too short etc.


Annywaay, does anyone know what's happened to their old trombone player Rico Rodriguez? The last time I saw him he was in the Jools Holland band...

Jerry Dammers always was a difficult man so I can understand the fall out...

mate of mine was with him for years and he was a grummpy ol' b*gger

sorry folks...I'm a visual mood this morning...

My keyboard comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek... the keyboard is one of my instruments, and I've always found it harder to get recognition playing keyboard in a bad compared to when I've been playing other instruments. I know Jerry was a pivotal member (maybe the main songwriter?)


Rico was an unofficial member... I always thought of him more as an all-round ska and reggae legend who made the odd guest appearance with The Specials. Besides, he's an old man now.

    • Hi Merry Christmas no joy with that Paul Hackett email thanks 
    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
