Pauline Black and Jane Mingay’s 2-Tone Story

Pauline Black and Jane Mingay’s 2-Tone Story

Musician Pauline Black is best known as the frontwoman of 2-tone band The Selecter, and wrote about her experiences in the band and life in her memoir Black by Design: A 2-Tone Memoir. On reading her book, filmmaker Jane Mingay was inspired to get in touch with Pauline and the result of their collaboration is the new documentary, Pauline Black: A 2-Tone Story, which is showing at the London Film Festival. Jen caught up with Pauline and Jane to chat about Pauline’s experiences, the impact of the 2-Tone movement, and why it is so relevant to what’s going on at the moment in modern British – and global - politics. Pauline Black: A 2-Tone Story is showing at the London Film Festival on October 12 and 19. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
