Description

Signing Off is a result of the determination of a friendly group of musicians and UB40 fans to bring a fresh new tribute dedicated to replication of the live sound of their idols. The band was formed in 2014 and their debut gig was two years later in 2016. Signing Off is renowned for its commitment to captivating audiences by showcasing UB40's authentic dub and reggae essence from their seminal debut album "Signing Off" (which inspired the band's name), all the way to their latest release, their twenty-first studio album, "UB45". The band also draws in more casual fans with well-known tracks like Red Red Wine, Can't Help Falling in Love, and Kingston Town.

The group’s striking resemblance to UB40's original dub and reggae sound, and their preference for material that only diehard fans would recognise, has led to praise from the band itself. “We know the guys in Signing Off quite well,” said guitarist Robin Campbell. “I have known them for years. They are raving fans. We probably have more tribute bands than anyone going!”

With an emphasis on tight musicianship and a passionate study by each member of their role in emulating their counterpart in the real UB40, we're sure Signing Off has become the number one live tribute to the UK's premier reggae act of all time.

Description

The Night Owl is The Midlands’ finest soul and retro club and intimate live music venue set in the heart of Digbeth, the Creative Quarter of Birmingham.

This is the venue that soul fans across the UK have been crying out for.

It gains its name from a classic Northern Soul record ‘The Night Owl’ by Bobby Paris.

Northern Soul isn’t just a type of music, it’s a way of life. The records, the dancing, the clothes, and the lifelong friends made.

Richard Priest has adored Northern Soul since his teenage years in the 1970s; he became a regular at infamous all-nighter parties at legendary venues such as Wigan Casino. His dream has become a reality.

Combining Richard Priest’s vision with Promoter Mazzy Snape’s know-how the venue has evolved into the place to be for all fans of good soul and guitar-based music.
