!!!NEVILLE STAPLE CANCELS HIS APPEARENCE AT MUTINY!!!


We can officially confirm that Neville Staple will not be appearing at MUTINY due to the double booking of The Specials re-scheduled Brixton Academy gig from May 6th.  A press release from Neville reads:

“Neville Staple regrets to announce that his show on Saturday 16th May at the Mutiny Festival in Bridlington Spa has been cancelled.

This is due to The Specials having to re-schedule their sold out show at London's O2 Brixton Academy on the same night.

Neville would like to apologise to all his fans and the following nights show at the Bearded Theory Festival in Ashbourne will continue as planned.”

Due to the very short notice of this news we are trying our best to fill the void, caused by Neville’s departure, with an artist of equal quality. Thank you for your patience and understanding. This is a big blow for us and we feel we are letting you down due to this situation which was ultimately out of our and Neville’s control.

Nevertheless with the ten great bands still onboard the good ship MUTINY all looks on course for a great day!!!

The Original Rudeboy, best known for his work writing & composing, the lead singer from The Specials, and as one of the founding members of Fun Boy 3, Neville Staple is credited with changing the face of pop music not only once but twice.

Neville's biography and past projects read like a who's who of rock. He has worked with such legends as Elvis Costello (The Specials 1979 – Chrysalis Records), David Byrne (Fun Boy 3 Waiting 1983 – Chrysalis Records), and Ali Campbell (Today's Specials 1996 – Kuff Records/Virgin), to name only a few.

Since 1998 Neville has been on a mission to entertain, successfully touring Japan, South America and extensively touring North America with his own band. Above all he is a performer. It is worth seeing Neville's live performance, his captivating stage presence and distinct voice are well worth it. Catch his show these days, and you'll get a mix of old favourites plus loads of his brand new original solo material.
