THE NEVILLE STAPLE BAND

+ SEVEN DEADLY SKINS & DJ GLEN B

Friday 25th of August, 8pm, €20.00

Best known for his work writing &
composing, the lead singer from The
Specials, and as one of the founding members of Fun Boy 3, Neville
Staple is credited with changing the face of pop music not only once
but twice. Neville's biography and past projects read like a who's who
of rock. He has worked with such legends as Elvis Costello (The
Specials 1979 – Chrysalis Records), David Byrne (Fun Boy 3 Waiting
1983 – Chrysalis Records), and Ali Campbell (Today's Specials 1996 -
Kuff Records/Virgin), to name only a few. His talents are found on the
unique tribute album, Searching For Jimi Hendrix (1999 - Capitol
Records) a project that Neville is personally quite proud of. In
addition to having recorded with some of rock's most famous, he has
also shared the stage w ith such icons as Ranking Roger (The Beat)
forming Special Beat. Although this line-up never actually recorded an
album they successfully toured the U.S. with Sting and Steel Pulse,
which ultimately lead

up to their own headline tour.

Having spent recent years successfully touring Japan, South America
and North America, Neville Staple returns to mark the 25th Anniversary
of Two Tone Records, with a new album 'The Rude Boy Returns' and a new
label, Rude Boy Music. Produced by Neville himself at Planet Studios,
Coventry and featuring collaborations with Mick Jones (The Clash) and
Rat Scabies (The Damned), 'The Rude Boy Returns' sees Neville keeping
the spirit, attitude and style of his previous bands well and truly
alive.
