Pete Chambers and the Two Tone Trail

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.
