The iconic ska singer will tour his stomping live show to the Devil’s Arse Cavern, also known as Peak Cavern, in Castleton on Saturday, July 9.

Neville helped launch the United Kingdom ska revival of the 80s and went on to a long career as a vocalist. His strong personality and charisma made him a valuable presence in all his projects, from The Specials to Fun Boy Three, to his own solo career.

Alongside an inevitable outing of Ghost Town, expect a fun, nostalgic trip through 2-Tone-Ska hits like A Message to You Rudy, Rat Race, Gangsters and many more.
