Ali Campbell was “disappointed but didn’t object” to him joining UB40. When asked why he did not join UB40 in 1978, he joked because they were “crap” and that he “was too smart for them and he knew that they would get nowhere”. In 2014, Ali formed a rival version of UB40 with Astro and Mickey Virtue. He said of his brother’s singing, “I sat back for five years and watched my brother Duncan murdering my songs. We’re saving the legacy”.

The origins of what would become UB40 began when in mid-1978 guitarist Ali Campbell, together with the rhythm section of drummer Jimmy Brown and bassist Earl Falconer, began rehearsing charting reggae songs in addition to some of their own original compositions. They were soon joined by several of their friends, firstly percussionists Yomi Babayemi and Norman Hassan, and then saxophonist Brian Travers and keyboardist Jimmy Lynn. Robin Campbell, although initially reluctant to commit to forming a band with the others, was invited to join once again by his brother and bought a guitar with which to do so in December of that year. Once Robin had joined the others in their jamming sessions, the eight musicians formed a band, deciding on the name ‘UB40’ after a friend suggested it was an appropriate name given the unemployed status of all of the band members. Prior to this, Travers had work as an electrical apprentice for NG Bailey; whilst Robin Campbell had been an apprentice toolmaker.
