UB40 (Robin Campbell and Jimmy Brown) - a podcast by Michael Franti

Formed in 1978 and naming themselves after the unemployment benefit form, UB40 released their debut album 'Signing Off' in August 1980 - which is considered by many to be one of the greatest reggae albums ever released by a British band. They’ve seen forty UK Top 40 hit singles, have sold over 100M records, and are one of the most successful British groups of ALL TIME. Franti discusses with guitarist Robin Campbell and drummer Jimmy Brown their diverse and influential upbringing in the cultural melting pot of Birmingham, how the band was formed and what inspired their success, and how they’ve created even more engagement with fans during this challenging time.
