What's on Ali Campbell's iPod?
We know he was the voice behind '80s pop group UB40, have already read he left the band last year and it goes without saying he has an on-going love affair with reggae. What you may not know is what he listened to on his iPod before he went to bed last night. All set to meet his fans tomorrow night at Dubai's Irish Village, Campbell says he is "thrilled and excited" to be heading to the UAE.
