Also, if I'm honest I don't like these topics anymore. They infuriate us for no reason. The band's doing all that they can to get the system rectified. loonies email venues to inform them of the situation. There's not much point to these topics, the same thing is said everytime:

"He's a willy head"
"UB40 function without him, he can't function without the band"
"how can his promoters do this?"
"pancake"

other than that, in my personal opinion, the only difference between this and any other topic is that he's he's playing in the US rather that Panama or somewhere like that.

best suggestion of the day Paul....I was made aware of it by some friends who emailed saying.
"Can't wait to catch up with you and the guys "

they had already gone and bought airfares, tickets and booked hotels for this event..then read the small print...Its all non refundable...and now they are not vaguely interested....

This is the point of no return. People think "oh bollox, I'm going in for broke now!"

It must be a horrible feeling for them

Something really needs to be done about this now as it's verging on ridiculous. I know the legal channels take ages and ages, but in the meantime he's using UB40s name as a cashcow. He's going to ruin their reputation at this rate. It's just not fair on them. To be fair it will be the promotors who are responsible for it, but someone must have mentioned the name UB40 to them. It's not like they've just picked up an out of date picture like in the case of some of Ub40s promotion. If ali did the right thing and sold himself just as himself with no mention of UB40 then this wouldn't be happening. But then i guess if he did that then no-one would want to know. It's just a sad sad situation.

Just had a quick look at the website of The Virgin Islands Daily News.Couldn't see anything about the gig but there was a headline about counterfeit $20 notes circulating on the islands.Little do they know that they'll soon have another counterfeiting problem on their hands.
