About UB40

Emerging from the vibrant musical melting pot of Birmingham in 1978, UB40 quickly carved out a unique niche for themselves, blending the laid-back rhythms of Jamaican reggae with biting social commentary and irresistible pop sensibilities. Their name, reportedly inspired by a British unemployment benefit claim form, hinted at their working-class roots and a desire to articulate the experiences of everyday people. Within a few short years, they had achieved phenomenal success, defying expectations and proving that authentic reggae could conquer the charts. Their debut album, Signing Off (1980), went straight to number two in the UK, laying the groundwork for a career defined by consistent chart success and critical acclaim.

UB40's musical style is instantly recognisable: Ali Campbell's soulful, distinctive tenor vocals, coupled with Astro's toasting, the band's tight, infectious rhythms, and a keen ear for melody, created a sound that was both authentically reggae and universally appealing. They became masters of the cover version, imbuing songs from artists as diverse as Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley with their signature reggae flavour, most notably with their chart-topping rendition of "Red Red Wine" in 1983, which became a global phenomenon. Their output has been prolific, releasing over 50 albums, including the highly successful Labour of Love series, which showcased their deep appreciation for reggae classics and introduced them to new generations of fans.

With a career spanning over four decades, UB40 has sold an astonishing 100 million records worldwide, cementing their status as one of Britain's most successful musical exports. They have achieved multiple number-one singles and albums in the UK and enjoyed significant chart success internationally. Their live performances are legendary, characterized by a passionate energy, a comprehensive back catalogue of hits, and the undeniable chemistry between the band members. This concert, featuring Ali Campbell, is a celebration of that legacy, offering a chance to experience the authentic sound and spirit of a band that has truly defined a genre and touched the hearts of millions.
