But for local young white kids like Jerry Dammers, vocalist Terry Hall and guitarist Roddy Byers, the new arrivals and the generation that sprang up in their wake had become neighbours and friends, united by a love of music and under no illusions about where the blame for their predicament truly lay. Racial tensions in the area began to rise, spurred on by emerging fascist groups like the National Front, who were keen to pin the blame for their worsening job prospects on the newer arrivals. For the likes of the young Dammers and others growing up in the city, their arrival meant exposure to the reggae, ska and rocksteady music that would later become the Specials' springboard to success.īy the 1970s, Britain's car manufacturing industry had begun its slide into terminal decline and Coventry's unemployment rate was among the highest in the country. Much like Detroit in the USA during the Motown era - and like other industrial cities in the West Midlands - Coventry attracted its fair share of immigrant labour in the post-war years, with many of the 'Windrush generation' workers gravitating towards the area, bringing their musical traditions with them. Coventry had been the epicentre of Britain's car manufacturing industry for most of the 20th century, and by the 1950s, the city had become the UK's 'motor city'. To understand the rise of The Specials - and the wider Two Tone movement – it helps to know a little bit about the city from which they came. That flat was 51 Albany Road, which was both the home of Jerry Dammers, keyboardist and founding member of The Specials, and the office of 2 Tone Records, the label they founded to release music by their own band and many others that were spearheading the ska and reggae revival spreading across the city and beyond.
