NEW SERIES: Kelly's Heroes - Queer as Folk's Craig Kelly chats to The Specials frontman Terry Hall
Show Notes

For the next few weeks we're running a special series - Kelly's Heroes with Queer as Folk star Craig Kelly.

In each programme, Craig catches up with one of his famous friends to reminisce about old times and check in on how they're coping with life during these strange times.

In this third programme we're showcasing, Craig meets The Specials Frontman Terry Hall.

Craig says: 'We chat about how seminal band, The Specials, formed at the dawn of punk and life in Coventry at that time. Terry tells us what it takes to be a lead singer and how he's never happier than when he's at the garden centre - that's when he's not dreaming about Simon Le Bon on a big yacht. We also hear about his fondness for David Cassidy and the mystery of Walt Jabsco. The band have been getting together on zoom and despite missing their Glastonbury appearance this summer, there are new tour dates in the pipeline.  Finally, you wanna get a load of Terry crooning Moon River..what a legend.'
