HI Ben, Just to say how thrilled I was with Sam Newman and DJ Paul Potter on Friday night. They were both superb! Sam, in particular was a great success. Everyone commented on his beautiful voice, but what I really liked was the way he got the audience going, involving most of them at one time or another. I've had many emails from my friends to say it was a great night. Kind regards, Dai Henley - Author

Hi Ben, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to John Scott for being a fantastic DJ on the 23rd March 2024 at our wedding party at Lainston House Hotel. Everyone keeps saying to us what a fantastic time they had and how great the music was! I am trying to think of an excuse to have another party so that we can do it all again. Although my husband is still recovering from the cost of the wedding

Booking through website and response for booking Mark Busell was very efficient. Mark came and the residents could not contain their excitement. Perfect playing and covering everyone's taste. There was dancing and singing through his set. Residents shouted for him not to go. I am very pleased I have booked Mark for a further 3 visits bringing us up to end December. Marvelous

RU40 #1 UB40 Tribute band


Since 2000, RU40 have established themselves as the most musically authentic tribute band to UB40, playing all the classic hits from "Red Red Wine" to "Rat In The Kitchen", from "Food For Thought" to "One In Ten" and beyond!


Based in South of the UK, RU40 have headlined in major venues and festivals across the South, entertaining reggae fans and ensuring they sing along to "Cherry O", "Homely Girl"," Here I am Baby" "Kingston Town" and many more of UB40's string of hits.

In a very successful career, UB40 had over 50 UK charting singles and sold over 70 million worldwide. They had two No 1's in the USA (Red Red Wine, Can't Help Falling in Love) and toured the world.


It takes a special group of musicians to authentically re-create the distinctive UB40 sound and the members of RU40 have many years of experience playing reggae and many other styles. The roots of RU40 go back as far as UB40 itself to 1979 when Danny Smith, Roy Brown and Martin Brisland formed Dub'allup - a very successful band that played original reggae and dub music. The initial band lasted till 1987 still reforming and playing at times over the years.


At the turn of the new millennium it was decided to use their long experience of playing reggae music to play the UB40 songbook. RU40 has built a deserved reputation as an excting live band in its own right with charismatic lead singer Danny ensuring audiences dance and sing along to their favourite tunes. It is no exaggeration to say the Danny sounds more like Ali Campbell than the man himself!


The RU40 line up comprises Danny Smith (guitar and vox); Roy Brown (bass and vox); Tim Smart (drums); Martin Brisland (keys); Andy Powles (keys, guitar and vox); Bogdan Dudzik (sax) and Julian Caesar (percussion and vox).


RU40 are the perfect band to create the feel good party atmosphere so don't miss this opportunity to catch one of the most uplifting live acts around.
