Very Special night in The Palace

The Very Specials, the tribute to the iconic '80s SKA band hit The Palace in Navan this Friday 24th September. Whether you jumped around to the sound of 'The Specials' in the Eighties, or are a recent convert via their amazing comeback gigs in the summer of '09, Dublin-based tribute band The Very Specials provide the perfect opportunity to relive the ultimate Specials experience.  'The Very Specials' play Ska as it should be played, with calypso beats and walking bass complementing jazz and blues inflected guitars. Add to this the socially aware vocals, Fred Perry T-Shirts and Pork Pie hats, this nine-piece besuited combo effortlessly bridge the decades since Joe Strummer introduced 'The Specials' to the oppressed youth of Thatcher's Britain. All the hits are there, 'Too Much, Too Young', 'A Message to You, Rudy', 'Monkey Man', 'Rat Race', 'Man at C & A', as are the countless gems found scattered throughout their studio albums.  Having kicked off their live shows with a jam-packed showcase in the Annesley House in late May, 'The Very Specials' are set to lead the Ska revival with shows already booked in The Button Factory, The Sugar Club, as well as provincial dates in the likes of Dundalks Spirit Store. Doors 10pm, Adm €10.
