From the first song to the last, they absolutely nailed it. The energy in the room was amazing — you could tell they weren’t just playing songs, they were putting on a proper show. The vocals were spot on and the setlist was perfect for the crowd. Every song had people singing along, dancing, or filming because it was just that good 🤘🎸 🥁" Based in Birmingham, England (35 miles from Derby) 18th March 2026 Diane Corkin Photo of Ub40 One Solo Show Ub40 One Solo Show "Great act keeps everyone dancing and having a good time, we also sing some ska and 2 tone that we asked for, was on time and always around if we needed something.
