The Legendary Frontman Dr. Neville Staple "From The Specials"
Feature
"Nothing came close to the sensational Neville Staple Band who really got the party started and had the masses dancing along" Anita Merritt-Exeter Express & Echo.
Dr. Neville Staple, Legendary front man of The Specials, Fun Boy Three and Special Beat, also known as The Original Rude Boy, is credited with changing the face of pop music not only once but twice. He celebrates more than a 40-year career in the music business which is well documented and started out from the early days with Ray King, Pete Waterman, The Coventry Automatics and his Jah Baddis Sound System, before taking to the stage with The Specials during the famous ‘Clash' tour.
Neville is the last remaining frontman from The Specials which makes him uniquely placed to bring the 2-Tone message to a new generation. Neville's 2-Tone legacy is huge. 2-Tone fused traditional ska music with punk rock attitude, energy, and musical elements. The movement helped to transcend and defuse racial tensions in Thatcher-era Britain. The actual black and white chequered imagery of 2 Tone has become almost as famous as the music itself.
