UB40 and MOKO
 Astro from the band UB40 gets his very own Maori Tattoo while at a concert in New Zealand.
UB40 band member Astro will carry a piece of Rotorua on him for the rest of his life thanks to Rotorua ta moko artist Richard Francis.
Astro first had work done with Mr Francis last year when UB40 were in Rotorua.
"I answered the phone and this English voice asked if
I would come and do a moko on him before the concert. I said 'sorry
bro I'm leaving for the concert now', then I realized it was Astro.
I arranged for him to come and see me the next morning."
At 9am on Sunday, Astro turned up at his studio on Arawa St.
"When he arrived I asked him if he went out after the concert.
"But he said he had a lot of respect for what the moko stood for and wanted to get plenty of rest."
"He's really down to earth, he is just like you and me.
"We just talked about music and people. He is really in touch with his people back home."
