About The Event
An orchestral rendition to The Specials: a special tribute to the late great Terry Hall is a musical concert that pays homage to the influential ska and new wave band, The Specials, and their lead singer Terry Hall, who passed away. The concert features a full orchestra performing some of The Specials' most iconic songs, reimagined in a symphonic style.

The band's unique blend of ska, punk, and reggae music, coupled with their socially conscious lyrics, captured the imagination of a generation. Throughout his career, Hall continued to push the boundaries of popular music, collaborating with a diverse range of artists and exploring different genres. His distinctive voice and songwriting style made him one of the most influential figures in British music history.
