Winston Groovy “Listen - Winston Groovy - Please Don’t Make me Cry - MP3″ Greetings all. We return to Part 2 of the Funky16Corners Jamaican Trip with a tune that might very well be familiar – especially of you’ve ever owned a copy of UB40s ‘Labour Of Love’. Oddly enough, though I listened to UB40 (the 1980-1983 comp [...]

Finley, a lurcher, was talent-spotted by his owners Chia Richardson and Perkin Bosworth two years ago when he startled guests by singing along - after a fashion - to the Mill House bed and breakfast stereo. His tastes are unexpectedly specific - he refuses to sing along to anything other than the hits of 1980s cod reggae outfit UB40. Photo from here. "He just howls in certain parts of certain UB40...

Several international music stars have performed at the Lugogo Cricket Oval this year and it is surely an uphill task to amuse a Ugandan audience that has gotten used to world-class performances. So after UB 40, Akon and Wyclef Jean, would Shaggy live up to expectations, having been here three times before?

Ugandans love and deserve some entertainment, so we're pleased that this year has brought us as many international entertainers as possible. The year started with Brick & Lace on New Year's Day then shortly after, Kevin Lyttle, K-Ci & JoJo, UB40 and Akon came. Last week, Wyclef Jean and DJ Benny D performed in Kampala.

We're not really sure which one of us thought that taking the parental figures to a reggae festival at the Hollywood Bowl featuring UB40 was a good idea, but we did it anyway. This past Sunday, we went to the bowl with our sister, our 2 cousins, our parents and our aunt and uncle for a fun concert day. We packed sandwiches and fruits and desserts and a bunch of beers and headed out! It was really...
