@losttourist when I was an anguished teenager doing my homework, I remember loving that #Colourfield performance so much that I wrote about it in my journal. Pure loveliness.

This takes you 2-hours of Terry Hall with Timmy Mallett - Fun Boy Three and Colourfield - what’s not to love! https://linktr.ee/TimmyMallett. #TimmMallett #TerryHall #Colourfield #FunBoyThree
For all who have been saddened by the death of #TerryHall, this is a fantastic tribute share by Timmy Mallett on the birdsite: a 2 hour programme from 1985 in which 26 year old Terry presents a show featuring his favourite music. #TwoTone #TheSpecials #FunBoyThree #Colourfield #Music #1980s #1970s https://www.mixcloud.com/TimmyMallett/terry-hall-easter-special-piccadilly-radio-tx-8th-april-1985-tx-2100-2300/
Breakfast, 148 Great Western St, Moss Side, 1985. Terry Hall looking over my shoulder on a giant #Colourfield poster #TerryHall #MossSide #Marmite
It is only the second time in my life I have spontaneously shed tears when a celeb has passed. RIP #TerryHall, a truly inspirational and astonishingly talented man. The #Specials, #FunBoy3 and The #Colourfield were a wonderful part of my life.
R.I.P Terry Hall 
#Specials #funboy3 #Colourfield etc. Brilliant singer/lyricist magic

@pallenberg Für mich wichtiger The #Colourfield
Just heard the very sad news that Terry Hall of #TheSpecials #FunBoyThree #Colourfield - and a true working class #antiracist hero - has died. Such an amazing singer who sang about real people and real issues with a rare honesty heard in so many of his songs - from pure joy to utter sorrow. A sensitive, shy, talented and unique person
#RIP to a total original. Rest in peace #Rudeboy
Oh no, I just saw #Terryhall died.
When I first moved to Coventry in the early 90's I stayed in a shared house with his cousin among others. The #Specials still dominated the music scene even then way after their split. Never met Terry, but did some of the others.
Never saw The Specials though listened to them a lot, especially at Uni in the mid 80's. I did see him with the #colourfield once, though he didn't look to be having a fun time then.
Sad loss
#TerryHall sang on the best second-wave ska album of all time, the Specials' debut. Then he moved to experimental new wave group Fun Boy Three, then into underrated jangle sophistopop group The Colourfield. #RIPTerryHall #TheSpecials #Specials #FunBoyThree #ColourField #TheColourfield

There's also the stunning album with Mushtaq (from Fun-da-mental), Hour of Two Lights. From it, Ten Eleven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l9HEvG1Tnc
December 19th, 2022: So gutted to hear about the death of Terry Hall. He was a special one. He was 63.
Today’s soundtrack: The Specials, Fun Boy Three, and the Colourfield
Today’s quote: “If you were 12 in 1979, the Specials were easy peasy lemon squeezy the greatest band on the planet. If you’re 42 in 2009, nothing has changed.” - Mark Lamarr, 2009
May his memory be a blessing,
