I can dream love xxxx Now to stay on topic, will they require work permits or entertainers permits. Will it be for charity. Remember all the probs our resident entertainers had last year x

Hasan may know Ali Cambell but Ali isnt a part of UB40 anymore Maxi Priest is the new lead singer very good but not Ali Campbell, Sean Paul came so why not

ps. also saw madness at manchester apollo in december.what an atmosphere. one big party.absolutely brilliant. they brought an album out last year - their first in 20 years.not quite as good as stuff from 80s but they can still write good songs.

as i am here i will mention seeing wilko johnson.Another great professional - has bass player from Ian Dury in band.
