UB40 are a reggae and pop band from Birmingham, UK, formed in 1978. They have sold in excess of 70 million records.

Over the course of a career that’s now lasted for well over thirty years, UB40 have made a name for themselves as one of the most successful reggae acts in history. They’ve been successful the world over, but are probably best loved in their native United Kingdom, where they’ve had no fewer than fifty singles make the singles chart. In the U.S., meanwhile, they’ve had two huge number one successes, including “Red Red Wine” - probably their signature song - and their take on Elvis Presley’s classic “Can’t Help Falling in Love”.

It’s difficult to speak too clearly about the current lineup of the group, not least because it’s subject to legal proceedings; there’s now both a UB40 and a ‘UB40 Reunited’, with the latter band boasting original singer Ali Campbell, long-time trumpeter Astro and keyboardist Mickey Virtue. At the heart of the conflict is a spat between Campbell and his brother Duncan, who remains in the original UB40 - who, confusingly, are also still a going concern. Either way, it shouldn’t be allowed to overshadow an impressive legacy, the most important part of which is likely the example that UB40 set, with their diverse ethnic background, for other multi-cultural musical outfits in the UK.

Live reviews

UB40 is ALWAYS a treat for the senses live. Their sound is larger than life. How could it be anything less? With Veteran member Robin Campbell on rhythm and lead guitar who also sings with the deeper, melodic voice. Duncan Campbell giving the lead vocals all he's got, throw in some subtle smiles and a whole lot of sophisticated charm as well. Earl Falconer on bass, making a center stage appearance for a few songs of his own, including, Bulldozer, a fantastic new one from the current album "For The Many". Martin Meredith on saxophone playing straight to your soul, Lawrence Perry dazzling on trumpet, and humbly standing in for The one and only Brian Travers was Ian who really carried the music quite well and is an absolute gentleman. Norman Hassan gives you voice, percussion, character and some very fancy dance moves! Tony Mullings on keyboards lays down a very complicated array of sounds that infiltrate the music and make it what it is, he adds so much to the richness of their brand of Reggae. Jimmy Brown sets the tempo on the drums and gives this fine group of genuine, talented, musicians a wild ride to lay down all of their musical contributions to and float you away on rythm, melody, beat, love songs, politics, thought provoking, smile producing MUSIC! This is a band that if you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to see live, and you miss it, you missed more than you will ever realize. They are so good to their true and loyal fans, both on stage and off. There's obvious reason why this is 40th anniversary tour, 40 years of material, all authentic (even the covers!) all genuine, all solid, and inspirational. UB40 is the finest entertainment I've ever had the privilege to experience. Go. See. Them.

UB40 is a British reggae/pop band that has been in the industry for over thirty years. Although their membership has changed over the years, they are still touring and entertaining fans around the world. They generally perform in large venues and outdoor festivals.

The entertainment is based on the music and vocals rather than special effects and dance routines. Their opening act is usually a DJ playing classic reggae songs to get the audience dancing and in the mood.

Their current lead singer Duncan Campbell brings a deeper, more soulful tone to the lyrics. UB40 is well-known for its covers as well as its original music. UB40 in concert plays all the old favorites and covers as well as their newer music. They have the sort of show that draws the audience in so that they are dancing and singing along with every song. The audience tends to be a little older these days, but after 15 minutes of singing and dancing, the years seem to melt away for the evening.

UB40 plays for two solid hours. The show is short on the stories and preaching and long on the singing and music. The band is not out there to promote some message or view but to help the audience have a great time. They usually back-load the second half of the show with classics to leave everyone with a good feeling at the end.

British reggae/pop band UB40 now hold an iconic status due to the timeless quality of their music which achieved huge commercial success in the UK during the 80s and 90s. Still touring to date to both the original fans and new converts who enjoy the band's music.

Perhaps looking for an alternative to the grey skies of Birmingham, the group developed a sun drenched sound inspired by the reggae greats including Bob Marley as well as their multi-cultural surrounding which exposed them to a huge variety of music. The influences remain present throughout their discography and now their live show continues to include soulful backing vocalists and a variety of reggae instruments.

The band enjoyed a huge amount of hits during their peak so filtering these into a succinct live show is a feat however they make great decisions with 'Cherry Oh Baby' and 'How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?' which both receive big cheers. There is no inclusion of their #1 cover and collaboration with Chrissie Hynde 'I Got You Babe' tonight but this is compensated with a huge singalong to 'Red, Red Wine'. A classic act with a timeless discography of hits.

HELLO, I am here to share my testimony on how I finally joined the Illuminati brotherhood with the help of Mr. Olta I am now RICH, FAMOUS, AND POWERFUL, I tried my best to become a member of the brotherhood, but I was scammed several times before I found a testimony about Mr. Olta on the internet so I contacted him, I was so afraid that he would ask me for a lot of money before I could join the light, but to my greatest surprise he only asked me to buy the items I made and today I am very happy to tell the world that I am rich and have been able to build many businesses with all this I obtained an instant sum of 7 million dollars in my account and I am also known all over the world with the business. that the Illuminati brotherhood gave me and I also have the power to do what I want ... I know many people may be in my lane also looking for help here you are officially free to contact Mr. Olta Va Email: ([email protected]) OR WhatsApp or call +2349018100439 BEWARE OF SCAM,

This was a first time too see them in concert. It was their 40 year anniversary and clearly, they were past their heyday and prime. They did great on doing their big hits like Red Wine or Falling in Love. But at times it felt a bit mechanical, they are great professional but improvisational part was lacking. The singers are good, but a bit out of shape. My wife felt some were not sexy or lacked charisma. They could use some female singers in the mix. The DJ before the main show was O.K. but not great. The waiting time for them to come onstage was 2 hours which is too long for standing room only. Overall, good experience but not great.

Beyond separation of band members and Campbell brothers, you can expect the very best of the new / old UB40 crew : amazing sound close to the one of the studios, amazing similar and tainted voices and this perfect matching of melodies, emotions and instrumental performances which made their worldwide success. Listening to UB40 is like an out of time moment and takes you to a real soul-searching.Everything looks like obvious, smooth and easy-going when you listen to the music these incredible artists just perform in a perfect way because absolutely theirs. To be shared limitless !

Totally agree with this review .. myself & 5 others were totally gutted, after having seen UB40 on tour B4 .. we have always been entertained from start to finish .. The supporting Dj was rubbish (im sure many will agree) in comparison to likes of Maxi Priest.. I felt we had been miss lead in to thinking I was seeing UB40 , Yo find the lead singer out of tune .. Good Try ... but will never pay or recommend ... As was said by a Ex Fan of yours ... It was like Culture Club without Boy George .... UB40 is not UB40 with out Ali Cambell ... What more can be said xx Rant Over

UB40 were fantastic! Got tickets for my stepdads early Xmas present and he is one of their biggest fans. We waited over an hour outside as they were late finishing a meet and greet I heard, but we got standing views right near the front! The stage was great and the lighting and sound awesome for the venue, not to mentioned UB40 being awesome! Only downfall which no one else can help is two lots of two women getting too drunk and ruining it for everyone, one being sick all over the floor and the others trying to start a fight. Overall brill night.

Event Details

UB40 has today announced a headline show at The O2, taking place in April 2024 on Thursday 11 featuring Ali Campbell.

Ali Campbell celebrates the band being inducted into the Music Walk of Fame with an intimate show at London’s Koko. The ceremony will see the unveiling of a stone on the Walk of Fame on Camden High Street.

Next week also marks 40 years since the release of UB40’s seminal album ‘Labour of Love’ on 12th September 1983, which produced the groundbreaking hits that will be performed on this tour such as ‘Cherry Oh Baby’, ‘Many Rivers to Cross’, ‘Please Don’t Make Me Cry’, and of course the ubiquitous ‘Red Red Wine’ which topped the charts both sides of the Atlantic.

Further hits from across the band’s career such as ‘Kingston Town’, a cover of ‘I Got You Babe’ with Chrissie Hynde, and ‘(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You’ helped the band and Ali Campbell become the authentic voice of UK Reggae, with a total of 70 million records sold, as they took their smooth yet rootsy musical blend to all corners of the globe.

Joining UB40 featuring Ali Campbell for the tour will be very special guest, Bitty McLean. Bitty emerged in the 1990’s, and appeared on UB40’s 1993 album ‘Promise and Lies’. Bitty’s own recordings including ‘It Keeps Raining (Tears From My Eyes), ‘Dedicated To The One I Love’ and ‘Here I Stand’ notched up 3 UK top ten singles by

1994 selling over 1 million records. He continues to be one of Britain’s premier Reggae vocalists.

UB40 and Ali Campbell are embarking on The Hits Tour 2024

UB40 featuring Ali Campbell are embarking on 'The Hits Tour' next year.

The Reggae legends will bring all the hits - including ‘Cherry Oh Baby’, ‘Many Rivers to Cross’, ‘Please Don’t Make Me Cry’, and ‘Red Red Wine’ - to arenas across the UK, kicking off on April 6 in Liverpool, before going on to Glasgow, Leeds, London’s The O2, Birmingham, Cardiff, and wrapping Nottingham on April 16.

Today (04.09.23), the band will be inducted into the Music Walk of Fame with a stone on Camden High Street and will play an intimate show at London’s Koko.

Next week also marks 40 years since the release of UB40’s seminal album ‘Labour of Love’ on September 12, 1983.

For all dates, excluding Glasgow, collaborator and peer Bitty McLean will open for the 'Kingston Town' hitmakers.

The tour comes after Astro - whose real name was Terence Oswald Wilson - passed away in November 2021 at the age of 64 after a "very short illness". He played percussion and trumpet and sang and rapped in UB40.

Speaking before playing a Hampton Court Palace Festival show last summer, Ali admitted it would be hard for him to get back on stage without his long-time friend with him.

He said: "It’s going to be incredibly difficult without Astro by my side. But, remembering Astro, let the music play on."

Tickets for UB40 featuring Ali Campbell’s 'The Hits Tour' 2024 are on sale on Friday (08.09.23) at 10am, and will be available from MyTicket.co.uk.

McCarthy’s Revenge Tour Rolls On, With Mixed Results

The former speaker has spent much of his time, energy and money since leaving Congress in a bid to defeat the Republicans who cost him his gavel — and his political career.

During the awkward interlude after he was ousted from the speakership but before he resigned from Congress, Kevin McCarthy found himself standing on the House floor one afternoon next to Representative Bob Good of Virginia, one of the eight Republicans who had voted to remove him from power.

“I just traveled to your district,” Mr. McCarthy, still raw over his political downfall, said in what was interpreted as a vaguely threatening tone. “It’s a really nice district.”

“Why don’t you come down and spend money there?” Mr. Good, the chairman of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, taunted Mr. McCarthy in response.

“Oh, I’m going to,” Mr. McCarthy shot back. “I might spend $5 million there, too.”

In this instance, Mr. McCarthy was as good as his word.

In the months that followed, he helped direct more than $6 million into the race to defeat Mr. Good, who is now fighting to hang on to his seat after coming up 375 votes short in his recent primary against a Trump-backed challenger, John J. McGuire. (Mr. Good’s campaign is paying for a recount, and he is claiming there was “inappropriate activity” at ballot drop boxes in Lynchburg, the district’s biggest city.)

Mr. McCarthy’s campaign to bring down Mr. Good was just one part of an elaborate and expensive campaign of revenge he has mounted since leaving Congress, one designed to ruin the Republicans he holds responsible for his demise.

“Bob Good was defeated, but the loser just can’t accept it yet,” said Brian O. Walsh, a top McCarthy ally who is coordinating the former speaker’s efforts to unseat the so-called “Crazy Eight” Republicans who crossed him.

Mr. McCarthy declined to comment for this story, but Mr. Walsh made it clear that the former speaker was bent on retribution and doing little to hide it. “We said there would be consequences,” Mr. Walsh said, “and we are persistent and very patient.”

Mr. McCarthy spent more than $4 million in an unsuccessful bid to defeat Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina in her primary last month, and his allies are now promoting ethics allegations against her in hopes of making her unelectable in the future. He and his allies are backing a challenger to Representative Eli Crane of Arizona, the sole first-term Republican who voted to remove Mr. McCarthy, who faces a primary in August. And Mr. McCarthy is going after Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida, his chief tormentor and the ringleader of the push to depose him, pushing accusations that Mr. Gaetz had sex with an underage girl.

Representative Matt Rosendale of Montana, another of the Republicans who voted to oust the former speaker, abruptly dropped his re-election bid in March after rampant rumors circulated that he had an affair with a staff member. Mr. Walsh declined to comment on whether Mr. McCarthy and those in his orbit had anything to do with that decision. But Mr. Rosendale’s decision saved them millions of dollars.

It is all a new role for a man best known as a happy-go-lucky political operator, a consummate team player and a prodigious fund-raiser, whose paid speeches since leaving Congress include one titled “The Happy Warrior Leadership Mindset.” Now, bent on settling his own political scores, Mr. McCarthy has been inserting himself into a high-stakes election cycle in which Republicans are pressing to win control of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

In addition to pouring millions of dollars into the race against Mr. Good, Mr. McCarthy urged former President Donald J. Trump to endorse Mr. McGuire, a right-wing election denier who had few policy differences with the incumbent. He tried, but failed, to get Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia to weigh in against Mr. Good. Still, he and his allies are happy with their results, even though Mr. McGuire did not score a decisive victory.

The tight race was in some ways more gratifying than a clear win, they said, in that the situation is making Mr. Good lose both his race and his mind.

More targets lie ahead, including Mr. Crane, who said in an interview that he had been anticipating as much.

“You make your bed, you sleep in it,” said Mr. Crane, who insisted he was not worried about the primary challenge against him, in large part because his Republican rival is named Jack Smith, the same name as the special counsel prosecuting Mr. Trump.

“That doesn’t exactly play well anywhere in the country in a Republican primary,” Mr. Crane said. “I won’t be surprised if the swamp gets me one day. Maybe it will be next cycle. But I just remind myself it’s OK. I came here to shake things up.”

Last Saturday, Mr. Walsh’s group released a television ad attacking Mr. Gaetz ahead of his August primary against a little-known challenger, Aaron Dimmock, a retired Navy officer and aviator. The ad focuses on Mr. Gaetz’s close friendship with Joel Greenberg, the Florida tax collector who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for trafficking a 17-year-old girl and an array of other crimes.

In his public speeches, Mr. McCarthy often focuses on Mr. Gaetz, claiming that the only reason he was removed from the speakership was that the Florida congressman “wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” Mr. Gaetz has denied those claims, and the Justice Department investigated them and declined to charge him . But Mr. McCarthy and his allies have quietly sought to fuel a separate inquiry into the matter by the House Ethics Committee.

McCarthy’s former aides and friends have gently encouraged him to stop sounding so bitter and preoccupied with Mr. Gaetz. But Mr. McCarthy is committed to the bit, telling people he wants to define Mr. Gaetz in public and prevent him from ever becoming electable statewide, even if it will be almost impossible to beat him in a congressional primary.

Sarah Chamberlain, president of the establishment Republican Main Street Partnership, said Mr. McCarthy was within his rights to play in any primary he fancied.

“He raises the money; he can do with it what he likes,” said Ms. Chamberlain, whose group backed Mr. McGuire even though he is much further to the right than the mainstream candidates it usually supports. “He was the first speaker to be ousted in a way that probably wasn’t very fair to him, and it’s his prerogative to handle it any way he likes.”

Once by far the biggest fund-raiser among House Republicans, Mr. McCarthy is not solely bent on revenge. He is still helping raise money for the Congressional Leadership Fund, an outside group that supports vulnerable House Republicans. And he is still personally making the rounds for members he likes. (A spokeswoman for the Congressional Leadership Fund could not provide a figure for how much Mr. McCarthy has raised for the group since leaving office.)

He recently headlined a fund-raiser in Omaha for Representative Don Bacon, who represents a district President Biden won by six points in 2020, and a Los Angeles fund-raiser for Representative Max Miller of Ohio. Mr. McCarthy still prides himself on being the top donor to the National Republican Campaign Committee, even after being out of office for nine months.

Still, what has animated him most is the prospect of accountability for those he believes acted wrongly toward him. The mixed results of Mr. McCarthy’s revenge tour so far demonstrate how hard it is to unseat incumbents who have made moves to appeal to the party’s hard-right base.

Two of the Republicans who voted to oust him, Representatives Tim Burchett of Tennessee and Andy Biggs of Arizona, do not have primary challengers. A third, Representative Ken Buck of Colorado, left Congress of his own accord earlier this year.

Others have proved more difficult to vanquish. Ms. Mace handily won her primary by 27 points, and many voters in her district said her vote to oust Mr. McCarthy was the very thing that won them over.

Lynn Fontaine, the southern regional director of the Beaufort County Republican Party, said that most of her friends and neighbors in Hilton Head could not stand Ms. Mace because she had criticized Mr. Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but that “Mace’s vote against McCarthy was a redeeming moment for her.”

Stephen K. Bannon, who used his “War Room” podcast to press for Mr. McCarthy’s removal and campaigned for Mr. Good, called Mr. McCarthy a “spent force" in Republican politics.

“He’s as toxic with the Republican base of voters as Nancy Pelosi,” Mr. Bannon said.

Mr. Crane said the money being spent to defeat him could be spent in more productive ways.

“Look at the bigger picture: What could that money have done to help, and not participate in a revenge tour?” he said.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Alexis Bellino sees a proposal in her future.

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star told E! News Monday that she and boyfriend John Janssen – who previously dated Shannon Beador – have been “looking at engagement rings.”

The Bravolebrity, 47, noted that they are “talking about the future for sure.”

She went on to gush over her “amazing” romance with the insurance brokerage businessman, saying it gets “better” every day.

“We both are kind of like ‘pinch me’ in the fact that we truly found like a best friend and someone that we want to ride the rest of this life out with together,” she shared. “It’s pretty amazing.”

The reality star also clapped back at criticism of her “organic” relationship with Beador’s ex, clarifying that it is not a “facade.”

Despite facing “backlash consistently” since going public, Bellino said, “This is reality, and we are in love. Our kids are a group now, our dogs are acclimated, so we’re moving forward.”

The duo were first spotted together in November 2023 , one year after Beador, 60, confirmed her split from Janssen after four years of dating on and off.

While Bellino and Janssen were “quickly becoming friends” at the time , they confirmed their relationship with a PDA-packed boat outing one month later. He even showed off his love for Bellino by gifting her a $16,000 promise ring for Christmas.

By March, the couple teased to Page Six that an engagement was on the horizon.

“I cannot picture my life without her,” Janssen told us, while Bellino chimed in that he will “probably” pop the question soon.

The two have been going strong ever since, with Bellino even bragging about having sex “more than” four times a day on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge last month.

“I told him I did not know human anatomy could do this. I keep telling him I’m going to have to get, like, vaginal rejuvenation. The difference is we do stay together almost seven nights a week now,” she raved.

Bellino hasn’t starred on “RHOC” since Season 8 in 2013 but is returning for the show’s 18th season , premiering Thursday, in a friend role .

“I contemplated not even going back because I knew what I was throwing myself into,” she told E! News. “But also I thought to myself, ‘Why am I not going to do something I want to do just because I’m dating somebody else’s ex-boyfriend?’”

Bellino insisted she did not break “girl code” as she “didn’t know Shannon” before dating the Real for Real founder’s ex.

“I didn’t owe anyone anything and I wasn’t doing anything to rub anything in anyone’s face,” she said. “It was literally timing and that’s why it’s reality TV, because you cannot write this script.”

Bellino and Janssen’s relationship seems to take center stage on the upcoming season, with Beador and Bellino each getting emotional about it in the trailer.

Beador previously admitted to E! that she was “hurt” by her ex dating another woman in the “RHOC” universe. She said she was “quite confused” about the coupling, adding, “John said that he didn’t want to be in the public eye, and he’s thrust himself more into the public eye at this point.”

However, the mom of three has a lot more to worry about than her ex’s love life in upcoming “RHOC” episodes.

Beador’s DUI fallout will air on the show, with Beador tearfully telling her three daughters about her arrest in a preview for the first episode.

BRIAN TRAVERS

22nd of August 2021 brought the devastating news that UB40’s comrade, brother, founding UB40 member and musical legend, Brian Travers had passed away after a heroic three year battle with cancer.

“UB40 would not be, without the input of it’s most gregarious member, most prolific lyricist, and mercurial brass master extraordinaire. His immense talent, tireless energy and tenacious commitment to the band are totally irreplaceable. Of course, we will carry on, but there is a giant Brian shaped hole in UB40 that can never be filled and we will forever miss him.”…. UB40

Brian was the man behind UB40’s classic horn sound which is recognized the world over. He had a love of art, photography and all things musical.

Brian was a prolific lyricist and had a major input in influencing the band’s many videos.
