Earl Falconer
Bass / Vocals

Earl is not an extrovert. He causes problems for T.V. and lighting crews, because of a tendency to retire into the shadows onstage.

He was born on January 23rd, 1959, and attended St. Benedict's junior school and Mosely Road School Of Art, when UB40 was formed, he was an unemployed plasterer.

Like the rest of the band, he had no previous experience but, one of the world's natural musicians, he soon became an outstanding bassplayer.
