About
Ub40 Tribute " Labour Of Love " is a tribute band for hire in Perth, WA.
Formed in Perth in 2022 out of a shared love of the catalogue, Labour Of Love plays UB40 the way it was recorded, locked in and unhurried. The set is generous: Red Red Wine, Kingston Town, Cherry Oh Baby, Food For Thought, Rat In My Kitchen, One In Ten, Many Rivers To Cross, I Got You Babe, Homely Girl, Sing Our Own Song, Present Arms and more besides. They run two one hour sets and take only a fifteen to twenty minute break between them, which pubs appreciate. If you need three hours covered, they'll bring a solo or duo support act or DJ music to bridge it. The band supplies its own equipment, including sound and lighting operators.
Watch
The show
Perth is home, and the band came together in 2022 over a shared love of the UB40 catalogue. Since then they've played to crowds here and further afield, and built a sound of their own inside the reggae they're covering. Their live shows are what they're known for. Turnouts have been good enough, consistently enough, that word has done most of the work.
On the day
Nothing needed from your end on the equipment front. The band carries all of it and brings their own sound and lighting operators, which is rarer than it sounds and means the mix gets watched by someone all night rather than set and forgotten.
Performance options
The standard booking is two one hour sets, with a break of only fifteen to twenty minutes between them. That short break is deliberate and it's what venues remember them for, because the room doesn't have time to drift off. Need three hours filled instead? They'll bring in a solo or duo support act, or run DJ music, to cover the gap.
