It's always a shame when bands break up acrimoniously, especially when friendships go back to school days and more so where family is concerned but remember, there is always two sides to a coin.

They say the 2-Tone groups were recycling ska music - yet UB40 covered loads of classic Jamaican reggae tracks.
