Horace Panter is a true icon of British music. In the 1970s Horace formed “The Specials” who went on to become one of the biggest bands of the 1980s. This year they are reforming to play a number of big shows, including headlining slots at Glastonbury and V Festival.
In 1972 Horace started studying fine art at Coventry’s Lanchester Polytechnic, now known as Coventry University. In his second year there he met Jerry Dammers and soon they formed The Specials. They started playing in Coventry bars and pubs and by 1980 were arguably the UK’s biggest band.
Here Horace talks to Coventry Conversations about growing up in Coventry, the day after the Specials played their first gig since they reformed.
