PLAYLIST-TIPPED Kid British got the seal of approval from reunited ska legends The Specials when Lynval Golding crashed their London gig.
The guitarist/vocalist with the band, who had a No 1 hit with Ghost Town in the seventies, became a fan of the Manchester outfit after his daughter discovered them on Facebook. And as the first journalist to back them, naturally Kid British chose to share their excitement with Playlist. In an exclusive chat Simeon Mclean, 25, told me: "My manager pulled me aside in the middle of the Boarderline show to say that Lynval wanted to get on stage with us before our song Party. "We were in shock. "We knew they were coming to the show as Lynval's daughter contacted me on Facebook then he messaged me so I invited him. "But I didn't expect them to want to perform with us." Drummer John Bradbury, 53, joined Lynval, 58, at the gig while singer Terry Hall, 50, was at Manchester United's match. However the whole outfit have agreed to invite Simeon and bandmates James Mayer, 22, Sean Mbaya, 25, and Adio Marchant, 25, to support them in May. Chuffed Simeon admitted: "When we started the band at school we didn't know who The Specials were, but when you watch old footage of them it's eerie and gives me shivers how much we look alike. "It's a mad co-incidence that we sound like them on some tracks. "Lynval said he can see like them that we are brothers on stage. "They're proper legends and just as relevant as The Beatles were.
