ORIGINAL member of The Specials, Neville Staple will be bringing his band to Rossendale.
Often dubbed ‘The Original Rudeboy’, Neville was a key part in the rise of Two Tone featuring on The Specials hits including Ghost Town and Too Much Too Young.
Now the Neville Staple Band is set to play St Mary’s Chambers in Rawtenstall in November.
He said: “A lot of young bands are now putting their own spin on ska – some with dance music and some with a rock beat. It’s all good. The music just makes you want to dance. Even when singing about tough times, everyday things or bad things, the beat and the rhythm makes you want to move.
“I turn all our live shows into a massive party. The crowd love it and sing along to all the tracks!”
The Neville Staple Band, St Mary’s Chambers, Rawtenstall, Friday, November 15. Details from www.stmaryslive.com or call 01706 223 222
