The Selecter - Have just announce their 40th Anniversary tour
The Selecter celebrate fourty years of touring
The Selecter have announced their 40th Anniversary tour in 2019 with special guest and DJ Rhoda Dakar. The tour starts in Europe covering seven countries before they head back for twenty dates in the UK / Ireland finishing at London’s o2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
The Selecter is led by their iconic frontwoman Pauline Black and co-fronted by original member Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson. Pauline Black is one of very few women in the 2-Tone scene, she is often referred to as the Queen of Ska. Not only a crucial figure in the music community, Black is also a published author, gifted actress and a celebrated style icon.
The anarchic passion that fuelled Selecter gigs during the original 2-Tone era is still there, except the pair are more driven than ever. Their confidence is sky-high and they’re also writing the best songs of their career, which is saying something given the enduring popularity of hits like 'Three minute Hero, Missing Words, Too much Pressure' and 'On my Radio'.
