ART IN A BOX II - PAINT YOUR TORCH SONG is a charity art project featuring original artwork by famous names from the worlds of music, comedy and TV. The participating artists each received a bespoke art box containing all the materials needed to create the painting. The theme for the paintings was 'Torch Songs’ - inspirational songs that we turn to when times are tough and that help guide us out of the dark.

Jerry Dammers' work has been inspired by the song "Glowin" by Dr. John.

Jerry Dammers, born 22nd May 1955, is the founder, keyboard player and main songwriter of British ska, reggae and rock band The Specials/ SpecialAKA, and the founder of 2 Tone Records. The band had many era-defining “hits with a message”, including the Dammers-penned: “Too Much Too Young”- a warning against too early pregnancy; “Ghost Town” – a protest song against unemployment, rife in the Thatcher era; and “Free Nelson Mandela” – a worldwide anti-Apartheid anthem, where Dammers called for the release of the then imprisoned leader of South Africa. More recently Jerry has led his influential Spatial AKA Orchestra, performing his funky take on Afrocentric jazz and reggae. His bands have always had deliberately strong visual elements, all heavily influenced by Dammers who, before forming The Specials, had studied Fine Art (specialising in painting and animation) at Lanchester Polytechnic in his then home town of Coventry.
