Terry Hall at the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú

A trip into the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú’s archives to look back on Terry Hall’s extraordinary, genre-hopping career. Featuring performances of hits including Gangsters, Thinking of You and Sense.

When Terry Hall died in December 2022, at the age of 63, we lost one of British music’s most influential, unpredictable and adored singer-songwriters of recent times.

Here, take a trip into the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú’s archives to look back on Terry’s extraordinary, genre-hopping career - from his early, decade-defining days as front man with The Specials, to Fun Boy Three, The Colourfield and his acclaimed solo career.

Along the way, there were also multiple collaborations, ranging from Mark Ronson to Bananarama, the best of which are captured here in performances of hits including Gangsters, Thinking of You, Sense and Our Lips Are Sealed from shows like Top of the Pops, Whistle Test, Live in Session for Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú 6 Music, Glastonbury, the pioneering Oxford Road Show – and even some Cheggers Plays Pop.

What shines through in these performances is Terry’s love of all kinds of music and his desire to never stand still and always try something different.
