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.

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.
