Pure loveliness.</p>

chestas<p>Oh no, I just saw <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Terryhall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Terryhall</span></a> died. </p><p>When I first moved to Coventry in the early 90's I stayed in a shared house with his cousin among others. The <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Specials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Specials</span></a> still dominated the music scene even then way after their split. Never met Terry, but did some of the others. </p><p>Never saw The Specials though listened to them a lot, especially at Uni in the mid 80's. I did see him with the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/colourfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colourfield</span></a> once, though he didn't look to be having a fun time then. </p><p>Sad loss</p>
