UB40 raise the roof for threatened pub

Wednesday 4th November 2009, 9:23AM GMT.

UB40 performed live at The Rainbow Warehouse, Digbeth, on Tuesday night.Ten members of the band took to the stage at 10pm playing to a sold-out crowd of just 350, with all money raised from the £20 tickets going towards a new £30,000 soundproof roof for the pub following complaints over noise from residents in nearby apartments. Guitarist Robin Campbell urged the crowd to sing along as they rolled out a mixture of covers and their own classic hits, saying: “This is a Raise the Roof gig, so we want to hear you raise the roof.”
