Jools Holland And His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra featuring Gilson Lavis, Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall have confirmed concert dates at The Waterfront Belfast on Friday 16 June and Dublin’s 3Arena on Saturday 17 June 2023.
Special guests just confirmed are The Selecter’s Pauline Black and Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson.
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 and was awarded an OBE in the 2022 New Year Honours. Not only a crucial figure in the music community, Black is also a published author, gifted actress and a celebrated style icon.
2-Tone was a crucial multi-racial, multi-cultural explosion borne out of Coventry and the Midlands that remade British pop from 1979 onwards. The main bands who pioneered the movement were The Selecter, The Beat, The Specials and Madness.
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.
