S3 Ep10: Matt Hoy: UB40 Fallout, Vaccine Backlash & Building House of Fyah
Update: 2025-09-15
Description
Matt Hoy joins B2B Business Club to tell his side of the UB40 story — the highs of global touring, the lows of public backlash, and the fallout that followed his stance during the pandemic. He opens up about being thrown into the spotlight, replacing a frontman, and the pressure of living up to a legacy. Matt talks candidly about the silence from bandmates after his departure, the emotional weight of being cut off, and why only one person — tour guitarist Pops Delandro — ever picked up the phone. We also dive into how today’s music industry has changed, the impact of talent shows like X Factor, and the creation of House of Fyah — Matt’s powerful new reggae project. This isn’t just a music story. It’s about loyalty, resilience, speaking your truth, and starting again. Subscribe for more honest conversations with people making an impact in and beyond Birmingham. #MattHoy #UB40 #HouseOfFyah #MusicIndustry #TourLife #VaccineBacklash #RealTalk #B2BBusinessClub #MadeInBrum #ReggaeMusic #CreativeVoices #BehindTheScenes
