PAULINE BLACK AWARDED OBE IN 2022 NEW YEAR HONOURS
Congratulations to Pauline Black from The Selecter who has been awarded an OBE in the New Year Honours.
She credits her hometown saying “Coventry is responsible for making me who I am, today, it gave me the opportunity to study, work & ultimately creatively find my voice with the 2-tone movement which has spearheaded the musical conversation about racism and sexism for the past 42 years.”
The announcement comes during Coventry’s UK City of Culture 2021 year in which she has played a pivotal role – in the bid and the celebrations. In the last few years The Selecter celebrated their 40th Anniversary and returned to the Official UK Charts in April with a reissue of their debut album Too Much Pressure.
In 2021 The Selecter performed at festivals & shows plus Pauline performed in the Coventry City of Culture opening ceremony, took part in numerous media events, was a proud supporter of the first dedicated 2-Tone exhibition at the Herbert Museum, launched & attended the Mobo Awards in Coventry and she also presented this year’s Turner Prize.

TOO MUCH PRESSURE BACK IN THE CHARTS
The Deluxe Edition of Too Much Pressure, released to celebrate its 40th Anniversary, entered the Official UK Charts on 30 April 2021 at #1 in the Vinyl Album Chart, #1 Independent Album and #24 in the full Official UK Album Chart
Thank you to the fans that bought the re-issue and who have stuck with us for over 40 years, who still believe that The Selecter is and was a great band & that the ideas behind 2-tone are still worth fighting for!
