Long live Ali and the UB40 band whatever happens. All paid their dues so entitled to the good and bad in the business...yeah be careful with management and fancy tax avoidance schemes...if financial advisers advise such schemes against govt, what did they devise against you?
Well a tribunal was due today from late 2006 as Ali's solicitor was taking the management team at DEP to court over missing accounts etc , but the tribunal could not be held as DEP put itself into administration. Convenient some might say.
How can a mangement company also forget to register a band for Royalties for over 15 years .
First I've heard of this - WHAT management team? UB40 made all their own decisions, and the accounts are with the financial advisors - is that the management team you mean, coz they aren't and have never claimed to be that. The one thing they DID advise, was to buy property to save having to pay tax. Ali was aked numerous times to come to meetings, he was always 'too busy' to do so. He wanted to do solo work , but hasn't got the guts to admit it,
Ub40 sound great now, I saw them at the huge Heniken hall in Amsterdam, Duncan the new singer is Brilliant, the band sound fantastic, Loads of shows to go to in the summer 2008
you are a phoney.ub40 are better than ever.you need hearing aid if you think alis album is good.its crap thats why his tour didnt sell any tickets.ub40 lives on.
Well possibly but I honestly (and perhaps in hindsight naively) thought this was one band where members would only leave because of ill health or worse. Always thought they pretty much managed themselves but what do I know? Wish them all (including Ali)well whatever the future brings.
It's amazing that they can go for 30 years (they actually formed in 1978) without losing any original members, and then two leave in the space of two months.
egos come on you have to put that aside. I hate when artists get to big and cannot compromise with others.
