The Selecter are back in Paisley tonight. Gary Kerr of LNP Promotions said “I am delighted to bring the brilliant and iconic The Selecter back for an extra special show, right in the heart of Paisley tonight at our magnificent Town Hall. (recently upgraded by the way). We really can’t wait”.
The Selecter is led by their iconic frontwoman Pauline Black OBE with original drummer Charley ‘Aitch’ Bembridge. Pauline is one of very few women in the 2-Tone scene – often referred to as the Queen of Ska.
Known the world over for hits including “Three Minute Hero,” “Missing Words,” “Too Much Pressure” and “On My Radio” The Selecter continue to tour and release new music proving that 2-Tone is still as relevant and important as it was 40 years ago. They released their much-acclaimed new album Human Algebra in April 2023.
The anarchic passion that fuelled Selecter gigs during the original 2-Tone era is still there and they continue to perform around the world. Tickets can be found at Tickets Scotland or on the door from 7pm for £30. LNP Promotions exists to raise funds for Loud n Proud to go towards the development of young musicians.
In support is Esperanza who are a nine-piece ska collective from Glasgow famed for live shows where their infectious rhythm has the crowd involuntarily jumping in time.
