Johnny 2 Bad A dynamic 8-piece reggae UB40 Tribute band

We need a performance space of at least 8 meters x 5 meters. We require 2 x 13 amp power sockets and 3 parking spaces.

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

Our journey began while we were at jam nights, where we first came together as a group of friends who shared a passion for reggae and ska music. What started as casual jam sessions quickly turned into regular performances, and before we knew it, we were gigging at local venues in Brum!

We’ve been heavily influenced by artists like UB40 and Desmond Dekker, and The Skatalites, whose rhythms and soulful melodies laid the foundation for our band. We also draw from the 2 Tone era, with bands like The Specials and Madness, who brought ska to a whole new generation.

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.

Previous customers would describe us as a high-energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing!
