Signing Off UB40 Tribute

A tribute night devoted to the music of UB40, performed by the tribute act Signing Off at Penn Bowling & Social Club in Wolverhampton. The performers are not the original band.

Signing Off are a tribute act that plays the songs of UB40, the reggae group formed in Birmingham in 1978. The band took its name from the unemployment benefit form, and its 1980 debut album, which shares the title Signing Off, is counted among Britain's leading reggae records. Over a career that produced a long run of hits, UB40 became one of the most commercially successful British bands of their genre.

The evening is built around UB40's best-known material, with songs such as 'Kingston Town', 'Red, Red Wine', 'Food For Thought'and 'Sing Our Own Song'among those drawn from the repertoire. Tony Harley, Sid Spicer, Jordan Lawrence, Tom Bates and Scott Lloyd are the performers named for the night. The act marks ten years of performing UB40's music, and this is a tribute to that catalogue rather than a appearance by UB40 themselves.

The show suits listeners who follow UB40's reggae, along with those who know the songs from the radio and the dancefloor. Penn Bowling & Social Club, in Wolverhampton, hosts concerts and shows, and this booking adds a reggae tribute to its programme.
