Pauline Black has spent the last 30 years maintaining the fierce independence that she first forged in her early days with legendary, platinum selling, 2-Tone band The Selecter. During that time she has always tried to do what she feels is right, honest and true. She considers her female mixed race status gives her a unique insight into the twin evils of racism and sexism that still beset the world and render the original message of the 2-tone movement as relevant today as it was in 1979.
Since then, she has built her considerable reputation through singing, song writing, acting and presenting and has garnered several singing and acting awards along the way. Never content to just rest on her laurels or pursue the road of easy celebrity, Pauline has delivered 10 studio albums, throughout her career, chronicling her particular view of the precious world that we inhabit.
In 2009, the “30th anniversary of the 2-Tone Movement”, she elected to return to her first love ska music, not in nostalgic re-union mood, but as a respected solo artist forging new relationships with musicians in Argentina, Brazil and Australia, culminating in an exclusive headline performance at the “100 Nicetos Festival” in Buenos Aires in front of 30,000 people backed by Hugo Lobo’s “Dancing Mood” on Oct 3rd.
At the start of the new decade, 2010 finds Pauline building on last year’s success. There are concerts planned throughout the year, showcasing new and old material from her entire career, with her new 6 piece band, unveiled in London on December 12th 2009. The U.S. “Warped Tour 2010” is also under consideration. A new solo album “Pigment Of My Imagination” and her long-awaited memoir “Black By Design” are earmarked for release this year. Both projects will give her many fans a chance to see what makes this unique artist tick. Pauline Black is a singular woman with a multi-faceted talent.
The Music Cafe along with Wrackster & Skellett are extremely proud and excited to welcome this legendary artist to our venue where she, along with her band, will perform a set featuring many of her 2Tone/Selecter hits.
The event will also begin and end with a superb 'Musical Liquidator' club nite featuring two of the UK's finest deejays, Mark Wilson & Mark D'Arcy spinning a fantastic mix of ska, rocksteady, Trojan 45's, 2Tone, 60's Boss Reggae & Northern Soul to keep your face smilin & your feet movin!
