UB40's Robin Campbell 'moved' as pupils studying group's music remind him of late member

UB40's Robin Campbell says he was "moved" by school pupils who are studying the group, singing one of their hits penned by his late bandmate Brian Travers.

The band, formed in 1978, visited primary pupils in Birmingham who are studying UB40's music, for a special assembly, with current line-up Robin, Earl Falconer, Norman Hassan, Jimmy Brown, and lead singer Matt Doyle all attending.

The reggae pop group’s tracks are being used to teach youngsters how to express themselves grammatically and with fluency – and involved Year One to Year Six performing renditions of some of the group’s most commercially successful hits during the assembly.
