Tours: Lynval Golding of the Specials touring with the English Beat

The Beat (the English Beat, not the power-pop band) are currently on tour in the US. The 2-tone act, lead by founding frontman Dave Wakeling, is playing these shows with Specials guitarist Lynval Golding. The group will be in the US throughout June and July. Click below for the details.
Speaking of the Specials, at the start of the month vocalist Terry Hall spoke with BBC 6 Music about the possibility of a reunion, commenting "People keep offering us money all the time, and you try and be polite, but you have to say no matter how much money you've got that won't make us do it. We'll only do something if we feel it's right. I mean this is the closest we've been in 25 years to maybe doing something, but maybe not what's expected, I don't know."
