Description

To celebrate the Thekla Isolation Discs Podcast reaching double figures this week, we're releasing a very special bonus episode! Recorded back in December 2019, Chris spent some time in Coventry chatting with Horace Panter, the bass player in the legendary two tone act The Specials. Formed in the mid-70s, The Specials played an exciting new genre of music that fused together the energy of punk and the grooves of reggae. In this interview, Horace recounts the early days of the band, the exhausting tours and eventual breakup as well as his subsequent years playing with other groups, working as an art teacher, the exciting reformation of The Specials in the mid-noughties and the release of their sublime 2019 album Encore.
