well the gig would've been cancelled because they would have arrested us..that would be $100,000 (thats just the production costs, then our fee we would have to pay back to the promoter and then all the people that had travelled to the gig 7-8,000...its just dirty scummy behaviour..as Ive said a few times before..
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO ?

Perhaps as fans of the real UB40 we should all have stickers made up so that when we see an advert for the Ali Campbell "pisses on his legacy" UB40 show we can slap a warning on the poster saying "this is NOT the REAL UB40."

Yeah I realise that but I meant if just one person gets caught with it?
