UB40 / Reggae Night

A reggae tribute night in Castle Bromwich, where the Ultimate 40 Band perform the songs of UB40, the Birmingham group formed in 1978. A DJ also plays across the evening.

UB40 formed in Birmingham in 1978 and built their reputation on reggae, drawing on Jamaican rhythms. Among their best-known recordings are their versions of Red Red Wine, a song written by Neil Diamond, and Can't Help Falling in Love, first recorded by Elvis Presley. Their take on Kingston Town, originally a Lord Kitchener song, is also among their most familiar records.

This evening is a tribute rather than a appearance by UB40 themselves. The Ultimate 40 Band bring the band's classics to the stage, alongside wider reggae material, in a programme of live, high-energy performances. A DJ plays between the sets and before and after them, so the night moves from live music to dance music.

Arden Hall is a concert and performance venue on Water Orton Road in Castle Bromwich. The event is aimed at fans of UB40 who want to hear their songs live, as well as newcomers to the band, friends going out together, couples and people attending alone. Ticket options include general admission and a VIP option.
