dear chrissy,and boys, over the past few years ive like everyone should have been going to as many MADNESS gigs as possible.recently though ive been listening to old recordings like ONE STEP BEYOND, dance craze version,this out strips any version what so ever.I was in mallorca in september and it seem to be to me that most songs were sang with no feeling at all,i kown you do this night after night but people(ME) can feel a difference,sorry to be a whinger but needed to point this out or is it only me that cant see the emperor new clothes! oh love new stuff and all old album tracks for me thats what MADNESS are all about,mybe a tour in album tracks only. hanks

Dear Stephen
There have a been a few negative comments about that gig. First of all Thommo wasn’t there, he had a hospital appointment. Most of us didn’t know this until shortly before the gig, which is a bit crap. He should’ve told us. Then our 2 managers and Woody missed the plane and then got delayed at Gatwick. So we went on very late, in fact nearly not at all. I thought despite all that the gig was great, no “going through the motions”. We ain’t 20 years old any more like when we filmed “Dance Craze” ha ha, we played too fast then anyway.
all the best CB
