The Selecter

The Selecter is led by their iconic frontwoman Pauline Black OBE and co-fronted by original member Arthur 'Gaps' Hendrickson 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 2023.

A 3CD Box Set & Vinyl of Too Much Pressure was released in 2021 to celebrate the album's 40th anniversary. The Deluxe Edition reached #1 in the Official UK Vinyl Album Charts and #1 in the Official UK Independent Album Charts on its release.

The Selecter recently supported Blur at Wembley and also performed live at the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony in Birmingham. The anarchic passion that fuelled Selecter gigs during the original 2-Tone era is still there well and as they continue to perform around the world.
