The service in the central KwaZulu-Natal province was attended by Rastafarians and other fans from as far afield as Rwanda, Liberia and the United States, reported the public broadcaster SABC. The funeral procession was led by white-clad members of Dube's African Christian Shembe faith, in accordance with which his body is to be covered in cow skin for burial in a private family ceremony. Dube, 43, was gunned down in an apparent botched hijacking last Thursday night in front of his two children. Tributes have been streaming in, describing the artist as an immortal legend of African music. Dube, who recorded in Zulu, English and Afrikaans, was one of the first to play reggae in his homeland and was widely admired abroad. His killing has provoked widespread condemnation world-wide and renewed domestic calls for the restoration of the death penalty in a bid to stem one of the world's highest murder rates. one love one peace roots-ee --- the ark band http://thearkband.com http://thearkband.com/gigz/index.html http://www.myspace.com/thearkbandmyspace ***no one but ourselves can free our minds*** [3] *=*=*=*=*=*=*= *=*=*=*=*=*=*= *=*=*=*=*=*=*= >From: Roots-ee [Reggae Ambassadors Worldwide #] Subject: UB40, Maxi Priest & The Wailers in Australia in feb 08 Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 16:21:34 –0400 From: rlam UB40, Maxi Priest & wailers in australia in feb 08 Reggae legends to hit Perth 12th October 2007 Pop reggae ensemble UB40 will headline Raggamuffin, a new reggae festival due to hit the WACA Ground on February 9.

Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2007 10:20:49 -0700 (PDT) From: phillip pickering Greetings Everyone! We are finally home and to tell you the truth some of the band members actually got homesick this year. (smile) The "Emerald Lounge" in Ashville NC, the "Saint" in Asbury Park N J, the "Bearsville Theater" In Woodstock NY, "Oceanstate Reggaefest" in RI, and "Schooner's Landing" way up in Damarissotta ME were some of our most memorable and enjoyable gigs this time around. However it was the string of dates throughout Belgium, Holland and Germany that took the prize this year. If you are a musician and have never done Europe, you haven't done anything yet! The crowds are massive, the stages huge, and the sound systems wicked!! Everyone came out to hear this little unknown band from the Virgin Islands and we did not disappoint! I think our professionalism shone right through. The radio interviews were relaxed and unrushed which give us a chance to deliver our special brand of love throughout their listening audiences. We also had the opportunity to do the biggest and longest running festival in Belgium. It's called the Antillianse Festen. I've never seen anything like it. We played the small stage and I was a little un-nerved by that but when I saw what was to be our crowd I was mesmerized! The entire festival had about 80,000 jammed into an open farm lot that housed about five or six stages. In short it was massive. Next day we attended Reggae Sundance in support of our own Midnite band from St. Croix who represented in grand style also. There too the crowds were massive. Although they came on as the secound band to represent that day they had about 10,000 strong supporting. Later the festival would swell to about 60,000 and all this is in front of one stage. Just imagine the sound guys! Still there is no place like home, be it ever so humble! (laugh) For those inquiring, we will start gigging soon. Just needed a break from each other for a while. (even this too is healthy, lol!)

We've done some live recordings on the road this time around and the compilations sound pretty good. We are awaiting some tracks from a show we recorded in Woodstock. The tracks were recorded independantly so mixing should be a breeze. Still it all depends on what we hear. Seeking to raise funding for our past due new album too! The fans are screaming! If the acclaims "Frontline" has recieved is any indication, trust me it can only get better! (You just can't beat the sounds of live drums!!!) We also may have finally landed a Manager. This is would make the works go even further. As player/manager all these years I've done my best but I'm now realizing this is bigger than I can handle and still focus on the music the way I should. Something would always suffer at times. More to come on this in the near future! We are happy to be back and look forward with antisipation of "InnerGising" our fans once more!
