    SPREAD THE WORD via TWITTER, MYSPACE, FACEBOOK, EMAILS.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------.. REVIEW OF J2B GIG: COACH & HORSES, STROOD, KENT,.. SAT 28th NOV 2009.. Hi All.... I went to see the band "JOHNNY 2 BAD" live gig at the Coach & Horses in Strood, Kent SAT 28th NOV 09 with my Cousin as we had heard soo much about them on the Official Ali Campbell forum and although we were BOTH a little Apprehensive at first we thought they would be worth a listen. As the band came out the line up looked impresive enough to start with but still without expecting TOOO much we waited on (as OLD UB40 fans since the 70s we both thought this would be a wasted journey)... The crowd gave a large show of appreciation as The Front Man Wayne Lawrence stepped up to the Mic and introduced the Band and then much to our Amazement the SOUND that we heard was none other than PURE CLASS. As the first song kicked in we looked at eachother with the same smirk on our faces to the surprise of a MASSIVE Dub 'UB' sound that we remember from the early days. As EVERY song of the set came and passed we had come from standing and bobbing our heads to Full blown Skanking on the dance floor with no care of anybody else in the venue (they may have well been doing a sound check to an empty room for all we cared)... As the first half of the set came to an end and the Band had a MUCH deserved break (due to the energetic performances they ALL gave) i found myself talking about them to a 20 something yr old fella in the Gents and asking what he thought of them, as he was much younger than myself and hes 'UB' knowledge of the old days was sparce i found myself educating him on the sheer Talent that THE WHOLE BAND had shown in the first half... The second half of the set was EVEN more Buzzing (as if it could) as the band did medleys that Ali & the 'UBs' would be proud of even throwing in their own versions of, "my girl lollipop" and "pass the dutchy"... I am Pleased to say that Myself and My Cousin were "BLOWN AWAY" and anybody thinking of going to see the band then think no-more and just go and do... GOOD LUCK GUYS IN ALL YOU DO.. All the very best.. Micky and Micky lol.. p.s before i forget we bought both the Johnny2bad C.D. and the bands OWN C.D "THE PRESSURES OF LIFE" by "XOVA" and both c.ds are as quality as their performances...
