i don't like their music but have a lot of respect for ub40. formed when ali campbell got some money from criminal injuries compo and bought his mates musical instruments.
they get slagged off for the amount of covers they did but for them it was partly about the musicians they loved getting some financial compensation as most of them had been ripped off in the sixties.
later on they built a recording studio in wednesbury for sandwell college.
i think they fit in quite well with what corbyn is saying about the arts.

This is what it's all about, Jezzer comes to Tarn, all four Barnsley MPs are supporting Smith.
Wonder if the turnout will worry them?

What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
To be fair the idea is to win.
A statistical reminder of the percentage of the British people who are convinced by Jeremy?

Melt Kingston (bass) lives down here now. I bump into him in pubs on the occasional jam night. I've never heard him do "Combine Harvester", though
