Enjoy an Exclusive interview Robin with Alex via YouTube:
UB40’s latest Top 30 album, ‘Getting Over The Storm’, was released in September 2013 and was awarded BBC Radio 2’s ‘Album of The Week’ accolade.
The band’s subsequent tour to support the release of ‘Getting Over The Storm’ began in 2014 and saw the band perform to 200,000 fans in the UK. It was the most extensive UK tour of the band’s career to-date.
Duncan Campbell (Ali and Robin Campbell’s brother) joined the band when Ali left in 2008. When the group launched he didn’t think UB40 would be successful!
Martin and Laurence have been in the band for over 20 years, and Tony Mullings joined in 2008.
