The Rumble Band, a beloved Grimsby institution, is preparing to celebrate an impressive 40-year musical journey. The band, which has kept the spirit of soul and Motown alive for over four decades, will stage a grand reunion at The Beachcomber, Cleethorpes, to commemorate their significant milestone. The anticipated gig will see past and present members, including their 13-piece line-up, coming together to reminisce and perform once again. Born in the sixties, The Rumble Band enjoyed a successful stretch, touring the UK and sharing stages with soul legends such as Jimmy Ruffin, Edwin Starr, and Ben E. King. After a hiatus, the band regrouped in 1985 for the iconic Live Aid concert at Cleethorpes’ Winter Gardens, a performance that still resonates with many. The 40th-anniversary gig has sparked excitement among band members and fans alike, promising to be a night of nostalgia, soulful tunes, and local camaraderie. Tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased from designated outlets or online.
