Robin Campbell and Matt Doyle: UB40 members as the band celebrate their 45th anniversary

There can be no doubt that UB40 has a special place in music history.

Since their formation back in the late 1970s, the band has sold more than 70 million records worldwide and has had more than 50 singles in the UK charts.

And of course we know the hits, Red Red Wine, I Got You Babe, and Can't Help Falling in Love.

Now the band is celebrating their 45th anniversary with a new album, the official Commonwealth Games anthem, and a global tour that includes some New Zealand stops.

One of the founding members, guitarist and vocalist Robin Campbell and band's new frontman Matt Doyle joined Mike Hosking.
