Pete Chambers, as ever, has been busy putting Coventry music in general and Two Tone in particular on the map in Coventry. Back in 2003 when I took my kids back to Coventry and showed them around the place I grew up, there was plenty going on to establish a Coventry heritage trail but nothing to show for all the music that has come out of the city. Since then Pete has established a Two Tone Trail with a series of plaques on buildings that still remain and much more.On top of that there are his books and the More than Two Tones exhibition. Here are a few photos from Pete's Facebook site to give a taste to those who haven't seen this development.

The above is not one of the 'Official' plaques but quite funny.
