UB40 / Reggae Tribute Night

A tribute night in Walsall devoted to UB40, with the seven-piece band Ultimate 40 performing the reggae, pop and soul songs of the Birmingham group, alongside DJ sets.

This is a tribute to UB40, not a performance by the original band. Ultimate 40 is the act on stage, a seven-piece live band playing the material of UB40, which formed in Birmingham in 1978 and built its sound on reggae, with pop and soul elements. Songs such as Red Red Wine belong to the repertoire that the tribute draws on.

The show is described as covering laid-back reggae grooves and chart-topping classics, with the band playing the biggest hits and fan favourites. A DJ is scheduled before the live performances, during an interval and after them, so the evening combines band sets with recorded music.

The night suits fans of UB40 as well as anyone looking for an evening of reggae and classic pop with friends or on their own. It takes place at Aldridge Social Club, a concert and performance venue on High Street in Aldridge, Walsall.
