Endorsed by UB40’s Ali Campbell, the band has been entertaining sell-out audiences across the UK and Europe, with its energetic tribute to one of Britain’s best-loved reggae groups.
Audiences can look forward to classics, including Kingston Town, Red Red Wine, Can’t Help Falling in Love, Homely Girl, Rats in Mi Kitchen, One in Ten, Don’t Break My Heart and Baby Come Back, alongside a unique version of Ali Campbell’s cover of Prince’s Purple Rain.
Johnny2Bad features eight experienced musicians whose backgrounds include working with Marley, Pato Banton, Musical Youth, Steel Pulse and Apache Indian.
Their lively performances feature a brass section and lead vocalist, who venture into the audience, encouraging everyone to sing and dance along.
