Neville Staple In-Store

The Original Rude Boy is coming to Real Groovy AK.

To celebrate the release of his new biography, Original Rude Boy, Neville Staple will be in-store on 1st August at 2pm for a 30 minute signing session.

Neville Staple is currently on tour with his band, The Specials, is also a member of the hugely successful pop trio Fun Boy Three, and now tours the world with own his own ska act The Neville Staple Band.

The unruly offspring of white boy punk and rude boy ska, the new music’s undeniable leaders were The Specials.

Bursting out of Coventry’s concrete jungle, their lyrics spoke of failed marriages, petty violence, crowded dance floors, gangsters and race hate - but with a wit that outshone their angry punk forbears. On stage they were electric, and at the heart of this energy was the vocal chemistry of the ethereal Terry Hall and Jamaican rude boy Neville Staple.

Raucous and charming, Original Rude Boy is the story of a man who did too much, much too young.

Do not miss the chance to meet a living legend, whether you’re going to the Specials show or not. A day dedicated to the glory of 2-tone, with dj’s playing spinning tracks. Come get your skank on at Real Groovy AK on Saturday 1st August.
