Thanks for the info Angel Delight!

Here's a UB Factoid for you all..
Cropredy is a festival that is organised by Fairport Convention.
Two of Fairport Convention's original band members were in a band with Robin & Duncan's Dad, The Ian Campbell Folk Group. They are Dave Pegg and Dave Swarbrick
Swarbrick actually offered to pay for UB40's very first demo tape to be recorded at Dave Pegg's home studio, in Cropredy. Although the offer was never taken up because of the very quick success they achieved, it has never been forgotten..

Wow, thanks Luci, amazing fact

EDIT: Yes, I was sure it was a real gig, just wanted to flag it to make sure the masses know about it

It is, however, on the front page. Or was this morning....

Hmm, not sure I like the idea of having to buy a ticket for all 3 days as they won't sell single day tickets. And the early bird discounted ones have already been snapped up.

[anant_shah94]

Can we expect a standard UB setlist, or will they be playing some of their new material?

[JB40]

I think by that time we'll be showcasing some new material.
