Brian said, “We got to know each other over the years”.

Brian loves to support young musicians and adding new projects.

He said: “It’s really rewarding for me to get behind young musicians who are not necessarily lining up in the X-Factor queue.

“People often ask me ‘if UB40 hadn’t of made it what would you have done?’

“And the answer is I’d still be trying to make music.”

Robert, from Kenton, Newcastle, taught himself to play the guitar and has played with popular bands around the region.

He said: “From day one I was teaching myself to play, I’ve never had any music theory lessons. I think that’s sort of helped me with my writing.

“It gives me flexibility and freedom of thought.

“The title, Rose Tinted Spex, was the first song I wrote when I was 17, that will be on there.

“It’s great that Brian’s involved. He’s always got time for people, you can send him things and he gives you feedback. He really believes in what I’m trying to do.”

The EP will be released on October 26 on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.
