This town, is coming like a 'Ghost Town'

Jeremy speaks to the former frontman of The Specials, Neville Staple, about their hit song Ghost Town. The song addressed the themes of deindustrialisation and unemployment prevalent in cities like Coventry in the early 80s. The Specials were formed in Coventry in the late 70s and led the charge for the 2 Tone movement which burst out of the city at that time.
