'Live From The Cathedral'... no surprises I have been playing this a lot this week. It is the perfect statement with which to conclude an extraordinary career. For sure, the rate of attrition within the band over the years has been rather high with the result that of the Magnificent 7 that rode out of Coventry in 1978, only three original members were there to play amongst the shattered spires of the old Coventry Cathedral back in July 2019. Down to three, but their power was not diminished. This fond live farewell is the perfect antidote to all of the political shit that we are wading through right now. It could be 1979.... only it's worse, much worse.
In the week of its release Lynval and Horace were to be seen, or rather heard hotfooting from station to station to plug the album on the airwaves. They talk of 2 Tone, Coventry and of course Terry.
In the words of Terry Hall, 'Love! Love! Love!'
