THANK YOU ALL!

We’d like to thank everyone who came along to Specialized The Big One International Ska & Reggae Festival 2025 at Shorefields Country Park in Hampshire over the 7th, 8th, & 9th November to make it the roaring success it was.
You received and supported all the bands, some who flew in to the UK from Holland, France and the USA to perform for us solely, you all got into the Specialized spirit. It was also great to see so many new faces as well as the hardcore Specialized Family.
It was the veritable feast of great music, great atmospheres, and a shared drive to help those worse off than ourselves.
Big shout out to our Literary Q & A guests the legendary Cass Pennant, Author/musician Daniel Rachel, Author/Poet Tim Wells and our own Mr Williams. Louis Alphonso deserves special mention for introducing every band no matter what time it was over the whole weekend, that takes some doing.
Thanks also to everyone who took part in the inaugral Specialized 5 A Side match resulting in a resounding win for the South over The North, and to then organisers & volunteers who kept the ship steady
The whole event was fantastic and we get to do it all again next year!
Thank you all again for making it what it was.
SUPERB

Cheers
Team Specialized
