Default Levi Roots And UB40

Didn't see the interview myself but apparently Levi Roots,of reggae reggae sauce fame,said on tv earlier this week that he had worked with UB40.Brian said on here that this was not true and summised that he may have worked with session musicians that UB40 had used.Spot on Bri.Just had a look at Levi's site and he once had a 10 piece band called Matic16 with the brass consisting of Henry and Patrick Tenyue.

I have seen him live once and the Tenyue brothers were present, so he probably does mean them, but I am sure that Levi knew what he was saying.

The tenyue brothers have worked with loads of people, Aswad, LKJ/Dennis Bovell Dub Band, Matumbi, Soul II Soul.
They go by the name of the Matic Horns, check out a tune called 'increase the pressure' featuring Buttons on the bone, it is an old Channel one recording from the seventies bought up to date, real nice rootsy stuff.
