As Two Tone was petering out this dark beaut snuck out What's yer verdict? The Selecter - Celebrate The BulletGreat song. Don't recall seeing the video before. The band's new direction is so typified by Pauline Black's new hairstyle and general new look. The rest of them still look like a ska band, but her new look tells you there is something else going on

Hundreds of people have taken part in a scooter ride-out in Terry Hall's home city of Coventry to mark what would have been his 64th birthday. Hall, singer with The Specials, died in December of pancreatic cancer. Scooters were a symbol of the Two Tone scene of which Hall was an icon, at its peak in the late 1970s and early 1980s. "The whole mods and rude boys, it all just amalgamated into one scene. They all rode scooters; they all looked sharp," said organiser Richard Willie. Hannah Tobin, from the city, said the sheer number of scooters who turned out from all over the West Midlands had been "absolutely amazing". "It was quite moving and brilliant seeing them all in convoy to remember him," she said. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-65006801
