"What you get from the audience, when you play the classics, it's fantastic. You can't replace that feeling - it's never boring to play them"

Welcome back to our conversation with Robin Campbell of UB40, who’s gearing up to hit the stage at Rockhal later this month.

If you’ve already caught part one of this chat, you’ll know that we’ve been chatting about the music and the tour, but let’s take a step back and talk about UB40’s journey to fame.

UB40 burst onto the scene in the early '80s and quickly became one of the biggest reggae acts in the world, but with so many bands fading away, UB40’s longevity is truly remarkable. Robin reveals that fame was something that came easy to the band and they’ve barely looked back since. (image: Richard Purvis)
