NEVILLE STAPLE

"...nothing came close to the sensational Neville Staple Band who really got the party started and had the masses dancing along" - Chagstock Festival 2015

Playing Speicals classics alongside some newer material!

Neville Staple is credited with changing the face of pop music not only once but twice.

Neville Staple's thirty-five year career in the music business is well documented. From the early days with The Coventry Automatics, The Specials, and FunBoy3 in the late '70s and 80's, to The Special Beat and various other collaborations during his solo career from the 90's up to the present day.

Nevilles autobiography, THE ORIGINAL RUDE BOY, was published by Aurum Press in the UK in May 2009.

Following on from the 2009 Specials reunion and his departure from the band in late 2012, he continues to be a forerunner of the ska movement, and continues to thrill audiences with his own excellent band at venues and festival appearances worldwide.

2014 saw Neville Staple, 'The Original Rudeboy' and his band playing a huge number of festivals, and a three month extensive tour of the UK. Old friend and ex-Specials guitarist Roddy Radiation joined Neville on stage for many of the dates during the tour.

Expect to hear some of Neville's own material, some arrangements of his very favourite old school Ska numbers, as well as some classic hits in the mix.
