UXB were from Walsall but played lots of venues around Brum circa 1980-82
This is our website-https://sites.google.com/site/uxbtheband/home. Managed by ‘Little Winston’ Winston who was a mobile DJ in the 70’s and 80’s. He also had his own record label ‘ Crazy Plane Records’ he put out singles by my band UXB and also ‘Bleeding Hearts’
I have some good quality colour photos of UXB onstage at the Cedar Club if you are interested.
Cheers
Col (UXB Bassplayer)
