Reggae band UB40 have released their first single in over three years to celebrate their upcoming anniversary.

The band has a new album, UB45, out this April to commemorate 45 years of music- featuring new songs and re-records of fan favourites.

Following the release of the single 'Gimme Some Kinda Sign' founding member Robin Campbell says celebrating decades of music is 'surreal'.

"We took it very seriously, we intended for it to have some kind of longevity. I think we thought 10 years would be a good innings, but to get to 45 and still be doing something that we dreamt of doing and something that we loved doing- it's all a bit surreal."
