THE Red Red Wine will be flowing in Worcester this month as UB40 tribute act Johnny 2 Bad drop in on the city for a concert.

The eight-piece tribute band is made up of professional musicians with a top class pedigree.

They play a generous selection of the Midland and international hit reggae band's songs including Homely Girl, Cherry Oh Baby and Red Red Wine.

In their time together the tribute act have built up a strong following through their enthusiastic renditions of UB40 classics.

And the lively group even have the seal of approval from the Official UB40 Fan Club, who chose them to perform at last September's UB40 Fan Fest.

Now the band will be taking to the stage at Worcester's Huntingdon Hall on Saturday, January 14, at 8pm.

Tickets are £11 (concessions £10), available from the box office on 01905 611427.

Juices look set to flow at Marr's

THE creative juices will be flowing as a cult British rock band heads on a collision course for Worcester this month for what looks set to be an explosive gig.

Juicy Lucy formed from the ashes of psychedelic pioneers and John Peel favourites The Misunderstood back in the 60s and four albums followed, none of which featured the same line-up.

After an absence of 10 years or so the band reformed and have been going strong since.

The current line-up features Ray Owen on vocals and guitar, the Mysterious Mr Fish on guitar, Fudge on bass and Fletch on drums.

For their live shows, the group dusts off material from their back catalogue, plus new material. Music fans can experience what they are all about when they play Worcester's Marr's Bar on Friday, January 13, with support coming from Worcestershire-based singer/songwriter Rob O'Neil and his band Taxi.

Doors open at 8pm and tickets are £6 in advance or £8 on the door.
