This unique album is now expected to repeat it's British success internationally. 'Running Free' features appearances from a host of guest artists in recognition of 25 hugely successful years in the music industry.
Although UB40 continue to tour the world today, selling out arenas wherever they perform, Ali wanted to record a solo album with some of the people he has enjoyed and worked with along the way.
The album is a combination of original songs and covers performed by Ali together with various guest artists some of whom are old friends and some of whom grew up listening to UB40 and who want to pay tribute to the legendary voice that has sold in excess of 60 million albums worldwide.

Flying Music proudly present Rock Legends The Zombies (Colin Blunstone, Rod Argent, Keith Airey, Jim Rodford & Steve Rodford) and The Yardbirds (Chris Dreja, Jim McCarty, Ben King, John Idan & Billy Boy Miskimmin) in concert.
As part of "The British Invasion" in the 1960s, following The Beatles in 1964 The Zombies were the second UK group to score an American #1 hit. The Zombies were uniquely different, with a subtler style, often jazzier and more inventive chord structures, the prominent keyboards of Rod Argent, and the distinctive voice of Colin Blunstone. Major hits include 'She's Not There' and 'Tell Her No'.
The Yardbirds famed for laying the groundwork for rock guitar as we know it spawned three of the greatest rock guitarist of all time: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Together with bandmates Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty they created hardrock out of standard twelve-bar blues, doubling the tempos and whacking the amps up to ten.
On the British club scene, The Yardbirds, along with The Animals and The Rolling Stones ruled the stages, with performances of their classic hits 'For your Love' and 'Heart Full of Soul'.
Location: Pavillion Theatre
