SUMMARY:UB40: Red Red Wine Tour
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The story of UB40\, and how this group of young friends from Bi
 rmingham\ntranscended their working-class origins to become the world’s 
 most\nsuccessful reggae band\, selling over 100 million records and spendi
 ng\nover a combined 11 years in the UK album charts\, is not the stuff of\
 nfairytales as might be imagined. The group’s led a charmed life in\nman
 y respects it’s true\, but it’s been a long haul since the days\nthey
 ’d meet up in the bars and clubs around Moseley\, and some of\nthem had 
 to scrape by on less than £8 a week unemployment benefit.\nThe choice was
  simple if you’d left school early. You could either\nwork in one of the
  local factories\, like Robin Campbell did\, or\nscuffle along aimlessly w
 hilst waiting for something else to happen.\nBy the summer of 1978\, somet
 hing else did happen\, and the nucleus of\nUB40 began rehearsing in a loca
 l basement. Robin’s younger brother\nAli\, Earl Falconer\, Brian Travers
  and James Brown all knew each other\nfrom Moseley School of Art\, whilst 
 Norman Hassan had been a friend of\nthe Campbell’s since junior school. 
 Initially\, they thought of\nthemselves as an instrumental “jazz-dub-reg
 gae” band\, but by the\ntime Robin was persuaded to rejoin and much late
 r they’d recruited\nMichael Virtue and lastly\, Astro – who’d learne
 d his craft with\nBirmingham sound system Duke Alloy – the group had alr
 eady aligned\nthemselves to left-wing political ideals and forged their ow
 n\nidentity\, separate from the many punk and Two Tone outfits around at\n
 that time. The group had nailed their colors to the mast by naming\nthemse
 lves after an unemployment benefit form. Their political\nconvictions hadn
 ’t been gleaned second hand either\, but cemented in\nplace whilst atten
 ding marches protesting against the National Front\,\nor rallies organized
  by Rock Against Racism. Venue: Freeman Arts\nPavilion.
