Talk:Jerry Dammers

changed wording
in the second paragraph, the words "new ska sound" made it seem like ska was a new genre when it was in fact not new but being revived and altered.

Picture of Jerry Dammers
Please could someone put a picture of what he looks like now! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.8.12 (talk) 09:38, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Pseudonym?
Though George Marshall (The Two Tone Story. Dunoon, Argill, 1993, pag.7. ISBN 0951849735) states that Jerry Dammers is a pseudonym of Gerald Dankey, this seems very unlikely. Jerry Dammers' father was called Horace Dammers. JosephDamen (talk) 21:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

The Gerald Dankey pseudonym is a myth, and his dad's name is deffo Horace. Ref. at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/7361108/Jerry-Dammers-interview-booted-out-of-the-band-I-founded.html  Pollythewasp (talk) 13:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

The Specials
Why has Dammer's association with The Specials been almost ignored in this article? It is what he is best known for. It gets only a mention in the lede, as far as I can see.

 * Yeah that is very odd, he was one of the founders. There isn't really much on Two tone here, considering its importance. Deathlibrarian (talk) 22:21, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I've added in a specific section on his work with The Specials, and a little section on Two Tone, which needs to be expanded Deathlibrarian (talk) 23:35, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I just changed »blah« (obvious placeholder) to »Joe Strummer« in the part about the "Tzar of Ska" quote you added on 2022/12/24 in Awards-section. Citation needed!!! I couldn't find a source. 2A02:8071:881:CA40:D177:1F5B:90A5:AEE0 (talk) 00:29, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Expansion of page
I've added a lot more detail to the page, and new sections, including updating his awards. Deathlibrarian (talk) 04:50, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
