Founding member of The Specials, Lynval Golding, traces his journey from Jamaica to Coventry, reflecting on the racism he faced, the politics he fought, and the legacy he helped build. His words are heavy with loss, Terry Hall, John Bradbury, and others loom large, but the fight isn’t over. With a new single, When A Light Goes Out, and a mission to educate, Golding keeps the flame alive, proving that ska is more than music, it’s a movement.
