Ghost town

Twenty-five years after Coventry band The Specials released their iconic song Ghost Town, it's still viewed as one of the most influential tracks in British music history.

Staying at number one for three weeks, it was the biggest hit for Coventry's Two Tone Label, and the last in a list of hits that saw the city take over the music charts for a brief period.

None of the band members realised Ghost Town would have such a lasting impact at home and abroad. So what was its appeal and why is it still relevant today?

In a rare interview Jerry Dammers, the man who wrote Ghost Town and created the Two Tone label, tells Ashley Blake how and why he came up with the song.

Inside Out investigates the tumultuous events that preceded and followed Ghost Town's release and asks whether these are what made it so popular.

Was it about Coventry? Was its appeal down to its politics?

And were the Specials prepared for the impact it would have on people across the world?
