wow. The dualers and ub40.I have one word for that HEAVEN.I have got to go to that ,happy happy,happy.I was thinking about going to see ali cambel at the 02 in may but now i think we will go to this one instead

Good choice Natasha

Richard

I'm glad someone's excited about it here!

aren't you, Tracy?

I am Christine, yes, hence the reason I tried to create a bit of interest by posting that we were going to make an anouncement on Saturday. Sadly, it fell on deaf ears.

But it's nice to see Natasha and Richard are looking forward to it

Well Im really excited about it I know me and Richard (ska'd4life)have spoke about this many a time Ive even spoke to Brian Travers (saxophone player 4 UB40)on many occasion about the possibilities of this ever happening even down to giving him their phone number so I know 3 of us will be defo going me richard and lorraine wayyy hayyyyyy cant wait .BTW there is also alot of interest about this on the UB40 website

Thank you RED for the information and a BIG thank you to who ever got this arranged

Good that the boys have another payday with a decent-sized audience, but it's hard for me to get excited about a gig at a place I can't get to supporting a group/band I'm not much interested in - though judging by the ticket prices, UB40 must have some rich fans - £20 for under 12's ??!!

Hope it all goes well, and that those who can afford/do go have a great time!

A simlpe 'Yes, I am' would've been suffice

I no this might sound really thick so please dont think i am ,and i may be really behind in the times .But is ali campbell not in ub40 any more as we had a look on the website and they said about the line up and it was maxi priest on the vocals at the romsey concert is this correct .


But im very excited about the concert

When I looked at the UB40 website the other day they said it was Ali's brother Duncan who was currently fronting the band, and mentions Maxi Priest as a 'guest singer' on some songs.

I'm sure Richard would know more about it though, so maybe he can give you more information

o right .Is his brother good im sure he must be to be fronting ub40,i will have to see if there is some clips of him on youtube .Anyway i love ub40 songs so im sure it will be a great nigth .

Apparently, he's meant to sound a lot like Ali, but I haven't heard him myself, so I don't know.

Hi Natasha,
Yes Ali left UB40 in January 2008, Maxi Priest joined them for one single but the new lead singer is Duncan Campbell who is Robin and Ali's brother. We've seen him front UB40 10 times now and although he does not always sound like Ali, he does a really decent job, but there again, the intention was to get a new lead singer, not to find an Ali replacement.
The other point is that 5 of the band members have always taken turns as lead singers so Ali was never the lead singer all of the time. The UB40 sound is still there but the biggest change anyone will se is how much happier UB40 are now.

UB40 have got copies of The Melting Pot and The Cooking Pot albums as well as some of the videos and we always mention The Dualers whenever we get the chance to speak with them.

As Liz says The Dualers are loved by a great number of the UB40 fans so should be a really great do.

Can't wait

See you there then - Richard

One more thing, I am almost certain that Maxi Priest won't be with them at Romsey.

Richard

ok thank you richard.we did have a look on you tube and duncan sounds really good he has a nice voice .I just have to book our tickets now ,it would be nice to meet you and others who are on this forum put faces to names me and my husband are looking for camp site around the area gonna make a weekend of it .


i cant wait as well.....

Duncans a lovely guy, really friendly as well.

This is going to be such a great gig. I know there are UB40 fans coming over from Holland and the USA, Ireland and all over the UK. From the chat on the UB40 forum, loads of them are really looking forward to seeing The Dualers and a number of them are posting youtube links of The Dualers for others to see.

I sent Brian Travers (UB40 Sax player) a copy of The Cooking Pot. He was praising it on the UB forum as well. He says he is really looking forward to meeting The Dualers.

Will look out for you Natasha, you can't really miss us.

Richard


............... Can't wait for June
