They got us, babe. Ali Campbell’s voice has always been distinctive but hearing it ring out across Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena is something to behold.
UB40, featuring original member Ali Campbell, took to the stage last night in front of an adoring audience, who left more captivated than ever. The reggae icons took the spot as headliner of LIMF as it made its triumphant return after a three year hiatus due to the pandemic.
The soft reggae notes took me back to waking up on Sunday morning and hearing my mother trying to keep in tune with Red Red Wine. But staying in tune has never bothered her before and it didn’t bother her last night as she sang and danced along to some of UB40’s iconic songs.
