Special Love

it's better than crying and wanking!

About Me

Special Love were Scotland's hottest gay synthpop/power electronics band, active for one glorious year, 2005. They parted company in spring 2006 after singer Johnny Dave eloped to the Czech Republic to pursue a vain love affair, which was doomed to failure, leaving ex-bandmate Charlie George crying into his pillow (and thinking about joining newer, less sexual bands). This page is intended to keep their memory alive until the inevitable reunion concert in ten years' time.
