what makes me laugh is...although they are called UB42..when i saw them .. they played mainly UB songs because that was what they were booked for but also played Ska from the 80 era
to me they are not like The Bootleg Beetles who try to replicate the beetles

UB42 play the music they/we love in the style that is thier own


also like to point out.. the whole place (resturant with over 200 people) was absolutely buzzing and dancing
reasons i know this
1. i gave the owners the idea of booking them after i saw the original line up at a pub in e 17
2. i work for the owners of the resturant .... www.castawaysessex.com
3. i was there that night and they were bloody brilliant

Well Said TazzO, UB42 are a great band,they just love to play the music they love & inspired them... It's Simple... Most of the tribute bands i know J2b,Homegrown,Rats in the Kitchen are all really talented too, and just for the same reason...

No-one will EVER emulate UB40, they have a Unique sound, Thats easy to Understand.

I think we are lucky to have tribute artists that promote the sound of UB40,Shows you how much they are legends of reggae really!!
