**********************************************************************************

Specials Front Man Neville Staple Ready To Lead Next Ska Revival On U.S. Solo Tour

**********************************************************************************

NEVILLE STAPLE, one of the undisputed forerunners of the legendary English ska movement,
is out on a spring U.S. tour in support of his new solo debut on Cleopatra Records, SPECIAL SKANK SKA AU GO GO.

The original Rude Boy -- best known for his distinguished vocals in The Specials, Fun Boy 3 and Special Beat
-- and his band of young Southern California musicians, are crossing America for a three-week tour.
The "Special Skank 2003 World Tour" is sponsored by AirWalk.

Neville will be performing a mix of old Specials hits and material from SPECIAL SKANK SKA AU GO GO,
an eclectic collection of new songs that takes him in a surprisingly fresh direction, along with upgraded renditions of ska classics.

Though The Specials stopped performing together as a group in 1998, Neville has continued his mission to entertain and enlighten audiences
while introducing them to some of his own new originals. Neville has been busy performing in clubs and at festivals around the world, while
he has continued to write and record.

In April, Neville recorded a video with Canadian ska men The Planet Smashers for the band's new single, "Explosive."
Neville also has a cameo role in Michael Keller's film "Vampires Anonymous," which is currently playing festivals.
Neville is credited for writing the majority of the original songs for the film's soundtrack.
