Celebrating The Specials’ classic first single ‘GANGSTERS’ with a live set from The Specials Ltd., the world’s most authentic and original tribute to 2-Tone Records Legends, The Specials.

The Specials Ltd recreate the passion and enthusiasm of The Specials, bringing back memories of those who were there first time around and showing younger fans what they missed.

The Specials Ltd perform classics and fan favourites such as Gangsters, Do The Dog, Message To You Rudy, Stereotype, Rat Race, Do Nothing, Monkey Man, and Too Much Too Young.
