Madness

Madness – Chris Foreman (guitar), Mike Barson (keyboards), Lee Thompson (saxophone), Graham “Suggs” McPherson (vocals), Daniel Woodgate (drums) and Mark Bedford (bass) – have played to millions of fans over the last four decades.

Formed in Camden, they have chalked up 15 UK Top 10 singles – including the timeless Our House, It Must Be Love, One Step Beyond, My Girl, Wings Of A Dove and Baggy Trousers – together with 10 Top 10 albums.

Their 11th studio album – 2016’s critically acclaimed Can’t Touch Us Now, featuring the hit single Mr Apples, instantly went Top 5 on its release.

Madness famously performed on the top of Buckingham Palace and set the record for the biggest ever audience for the BBC’s Live New Year’s Eve broadcast – the most watched TV music event of 2018.

Last year saw the release of a three-part original docu-series ‘Before We Was We: Madness by Madness’, how six unlikely lads – a rag tag of self-proclaimed ‘hoolies and urchins’ – became one of the most successful British Pop bands of all time, chronicling the band members individual stories up to the start of their meteoric rise in 1979.
