Items related to Sent from Coventry: The Chequered Past of Two Tone
Synopsis
By 1979, punk had grown up and smacked of almost middle-aged respectability. Waiting in the wings, punk's smarter, but no less snotty little brother - Two Tone - was about to emerge. Within two years, Two Tone had become the dominant music, fashion and dissenting voice of a disillusioned generation. It is a story rooted in the socio-economic climate of the late '70s/early '80s but also in Two Tone's punk and ska predecessors. With this title, Richard Eddington examines the pre-Two Tone lives of pivotal figures within this unique youth movment such as Jerry Dammers and The Specials, The Selector, Bad Manners et al. He follows their story from before the birth of Two Tone through to its sudden demise at the peak of its influence, coincidentally just as British society itself seemd to be fragmenting into scattered pieces. Eddington has collated extensive interview material with key band members, insights from industry commentators such as broadcaster John Peel, record producers and also friends and associates of the numerous bands. This book recounts how a monochrome and embattled Britain was re-energized and coloured by Two Tone and its subsequent lasting legacy.

About the Author
In his desperation to be part of Two Tone scene in any way possible, author Richard Eddington lived and worked in the heart Coventry during the Two Tone years. His experiences indelibly mark this chronicle with a deeply personal slant, whilst setting the saga firmly within the context of life in Thatcher s Britain. The tale is complemented by many of his previously unpublished photographs as well as snapshots from the personal archives of key band members.
