In 30 years of playing with UB40 we have never even once been told what we were supposed to play. The idea of the promoter, the agent, or anyone including our own staff telling the band what they should be playing is laughable. UB40 would never allow ANYONE outside the band to tell us what we can and can't play. But then with us people know what they are getting. With ttvo it's never straight forward.

Except Alan Titchmarsh eh Jimbo!!!!
