UB40 – One In Ten – Steve Recommends… – Tonight UB40 are playing a free gig at The Rainbow to help them Raise The Roof and hopefully fend off the noise abatement madness. Here, according to Steve Lawson, is why it’s important:
…UB40 are playing a gig at The Rainbow in Birmingham. A venue plagued by problems in a city where music venues are disappearing at a rate of knots. It’s a pretty big statement for them to do this, and hopefully the conversation will continue to grow about what needs to happen to protect that vital voice in Birmingham Culture that its music scene has provided over the years.
It’s also a chance to hear UB40 without any of the trappings or expectation of an arena show. Most bands get less interesting the bigger they get. Throw them back into a pub gig, and it all gets vibrant again. I’m here to be won back :) It’ll be broadcast live on Rhubarb Radio.
The gig is sold out, but you can catch them live on Rhubarb Radio from 8pm.
