I ask how she felt about the death of the Specials’ singer, Terry Hall. She says she was far closer to Ranking Roger, from the Beat, and was very upset when he died, in 2019 (one of the songs on Human Algebra, Parade the Crown, is a tribute). About Hall, she says: “I didn’t know Terry that well. I didn’t know Terry from the 2 Tone tour, and he just wasn’t a person that… We didn’t warm to each other, but I did admire his talent. His talent was mighty.” Augustyn, Heather (30 October 2010). Ska: An Oral History. North Carolina: McFarland & Co. p.146. ISBN 978-0786460403 . Retrieved 6 December 2016. Between 50 and 58 I didn’t know where the hell I was,” she says. “You know when people say that oestrogen is a problem? It’s not a bloody problem. That’s your life fuel. I think I always produced a surfeit of oestrogen; I have a sister, who I discovered much later, and she has the same thing. In menopause, your oestrogen drops, and all that live wire-ness disappears. And when you don’t have it, then you really, really know. I couldn’t have HRT for various reasons. I thought: ‘I’m going to die here.’”

[13] There were about 30 people on the coach,” she says, “and I always used to sit up the front of the bus. And there’s a photo of me, and I’m reading Alien. And it fits the way that I felt on that bus. People gave me a wide berth. Because I wasn’t like Pepsi and Shirlie or whatever – not marriage material. And anyway, I already had a husband [she’s been with Terry since 1973]. And I wasn’t a bloke.”

We were all interested in one another, but I see the expressions on my and Poly’s faces and they’re decidedly different from the others’ expressions… We’re like: ‘What are we doing here? Where do we fit into all this?’ There were other photos taken, she says, where she and Poly weren’t included. In 2022, the Selecter toured the UK performing their second studio album Celebrate the Bullet (1981) in its entirety.
