Cheers
Deleted by Timewaster®2014
We have family who own a caravan on the Minehead site can you purchase Tickets only for this Mad Weekender???????
Not sure Steve, please speak to Butlins directly
The owners of the caravan directly can get at a price wristband entry from butlins. These aren’t quoted a price or released this early in the year, it’s later on that Butlins set this with the caravan park owners.
Please can you advise on a list of concert dates for 2014, I would like to arrange for my partners 50th x
Thanks
To everyone asking about tour dates, confirmed gigs go up in the Live section as soon as they are… confirmed!
There’s nothing more we can tell you.

Hi, I went to the HOF for the first time last year, loved it but only one grumble, why was there no ladies fit t-shirts on sale.
We’ll ask The Madstore about that Karen

Hi! I know this might sound a bit previous, as you have yet to have completed this year’s House of Fun Weekender… But… Me and my hubby are huge fans, and are ex-pats living in Australia, and would love to attend next yr… So, my question is.. are there plans for a House of Fun Weekender in 2014, and if so, when would it be? I need to know when to book our flights! Many thanks, and big live from down under! ( PS: when are you guys coming back here to gig? )
Thanks again,
Kind Regards,
Mish C.
Yes there is, do come! It’s 21st-24th November 2014, tickets available here – http://www.butlins.com/madness
Hi
We watched the closure of the BBC building Concert and were amazed how many great songs you guys had made. Would it be possible to have a playlist of the concert? We would like to buy a cd/s with as many as possible on. Thanks
M & B
Yes, we actually made a Youtube Playlist featuring pretty much all the songs that made up that set. Find that here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwTsihu-EGpDTHJh_KqtI4KGh7vLjC4Sy
Dear Madness,

Yes you can, there is very limited stock left but at the time of writing you can still order it here: https://www.madness.co.uk//special-edition/
the oui oui si si ja ja da da is still available at amazon for £46
hi I managed to get one at amazon for about £43 if you haven’t tried there it’s worth a look

Hi
I was wondering if you were going to announce any December dates as every December for the last 10 years my brother and I have come to your concerts. Thanks
Not this year Kerry, just the House Of Fun Weekender and Dublin on New Year’s Eve
Is the fancy dress parade at the House of Funweekender for everyone to take part? If so, does the song titles have to be by yourselves?
Yes it’s for everyone, the song titles can be any song you like
Hey Guys, I came to your epic gig last week at Ally pally, it was AWESOME, first time I’ve seen you live (other than the Jubilee Party in London).
Unfortunately I’m only a little guy, and by the time I had managed to get to the front of the queue for t-shirts, the Black Madness @ Alexandra Palace ones had all gone 🙁
I can’t see them on your store page, don’t suppose you have some left do you?
Cheers,
Aaron
Yes some have just gone up in the Madstore Aaron – http://madness.mamstore.co.uk/
Hi
Can you tell we’re I can purchase the new film
Thanks
“Take It Or Leave It” is available from Amazon here: http://amzn.to/1aRc22Y
hi Is Suggs going to be doing a signing for his new book ?
House Of Fun Weekender 2013.
Butlins are saying that you are only playing on Saturday night this year?
Is this correct, as I have been the last 2 years & loved seeing you play Friday & Saturday.
If this is correct what is the reason as I know it is causing uproar at the moment on the FB Mad Chat page.
Thanks,
Vanessa,
No truth in that Vanessa… Friday & Saturday it is
Hi I went to ally pally at the weekend but was out of time to queue up for the ally pally tour t shirt can’t see it on mad store can I get it elsewhere please.? Thanks

Hi Will there be any chance of getting photos of the our house filming at the ally pally.
Great Day
Paul
Yes, keep an eye on Facebook, we’ll put them up there shortly
Are there any plans for O2 gigs this year, Xmas won’t be the same without you!
Malcolm
Hi there,
Loved the gig at Alexandra Palace, especially hearing ‘Disappear’. It got me thinking, how about a tour where you play the first or second albums all the way through (or both)? I love all the albums but they’re my favourites. Also, any plans to get more Oui Oui boxes in stock? I missed out the first time.
All the best,
Magnus.
Hello, hope the rest of the tour goes well.
Any clues on when your most current DVD will back in stock? My father is huge fan and your DVD will probably be a valued xmas present.
Kind Regards
Kelly
Good morning Hugh/chrissy boy
I hope you can remember me and my son.
We went to the madness gig in Sheffield which was called off cause of the snow.
Then rescheduled the following year.
While at the gig we found that we wasn’t on the guest list, standing outside stage door you came along and rescued myself and my 8 year old son and got us in.
Great gig but had loads of hassle from the security/doorman during and after the gig.
I explained all this to you and then you kindly offered to allow us to go on another guest list for another gig.
Well……..madness are actually playing in my home town (rare) and I am hoping you would be able to put my wife and our two children on the guest list for this please?
It would make up for all the hassle we had at the Sheffield gig with the doorman ‘carting’ me out and upsetting my son.
I hope you can do this for me.
I look forward to your response
wpould like 4 tickets?
Kind regards
Dear Lea
OK – but when are we playing Sheffield?
CB
HI,
I’d like to buy tickets for 12 October in Duesseldorf, but there are the Toten Hosen – and it’s sold out. How come, are both playing?
Thanks, are there other concerts in the near future on the continent?
Nikola

Hi madness will you be bringing out a live dvd from one of your live events i went to haydock park & blackpool iluminations switch on and they were awesome :o)
The most recent live DVD is a part of the “Oui Oui Si Si” Special Edition Album. You can find info and order that here: https://www.madness.co.uk//special-edition/
Hi there
Can you help?
I remember going to the cinema when I was a lad to see a Madness movie, but I cannot remember the name of the movie?
It was either in the late 70’s or early 80’s
Could you let me know the name of the movie and also where I can get a copy on DVD.
Thanks
Carl Green
Sounds like “Take It Or Leave It” Carl, good timing it’s being re-issued and released on DVD next month, info and original trailer here: https://www.madness.co.uk//2013/09/11/take-leave-digitally-restored-re-issue/
Thanks for the reply Madness, where will the DVD be on sale?
Thanks
Carl
the film came out in 1981 i think and has just been released as double pack with film on dvd and the soundtrack on the other i think amazon have it good luck
hi I assume by now you know but just in case it was Take It Or Leave It. It came out recently as a 2 disc set one with the film and the other with the soundtrack that reached number 70 (I think) in the album charts
take it or leave it peaked at number 77 not 70
Hello from France,
I have a “Membership in perpetuity” card joined when I bought Northon Folgate album.
What’s the use now…? Any special offer for special fans…?
It’s coming back very soon arnold
Really ? ohh just great news . I mean is it coming back with the same password we already have?
Cheers
To be fair, when the box set was advertised it said something like the membership would offer exciting content throughout the year, so given that it was accessible for over 2 years they’ve kept their side of the bargain. Having said that I won’t be complaining if we get more content 🙂
what size do your childrens t shirts start as i want one for my 9year old grandson but not sure if the youth ones will fit him can you let me know as soon as possible please thank you
Here’s a link to see the Size chart for the Children’s T-Shirts: http://www.mygildan.com/Categories/T-Shirts/Short-Sleeve//p/5000B (click the Size Chart Tab)

Hi, Is there a dvd for the blackpool illuminations switch on 2013. I was there with my partner, took loads of pics and videos, but my phone broke, so now have none. So would like to buy the dvd if there is one. Thanks Karen.
dear Karen
What a pain. Sorry but we didn’t film it. It will probably be on Youtube etc. What sort of phone do you have? If it had an SD card, you can recover the film and so on from that. Or sometimes even recover stuff from the phones internal memory via a USB lead.Go to your mobile provider and ask them if it’s possible.
best of luck, CB
Hi
Please Can you tell me approx what time you will be performing at the Blackpool Illuminations gig?
Thanks & Cheers Ian
The event starts at 2pm, our set will be at around 5pm (to be confirmed)
Hi, Great band.. Where can i get a beer cap of one of your bottles of Gladness? Im making a table and the top has got beer caps that i have collected and i would love a Gladness one..I would love a beer to but the chances of it coming out to Australia are slim. Your the best Band ever. Take Care and see you when you come back out here…. Scott.
Gladness bottles will be available to order online soon
Unfortunately the bottle caps on Gladness do not have a logo, they are just plain gold in colour, the bottle itself is very nice though…. as are the contents…. hic

Helloooooo!
I was also in the crowd yesterday at BSF and can only confirm that you were just amazing and wonderful!! The absolute feel good and good vibes concert, everyone was nice & chatting & dancing & smiling & singing & shouting! The best of British! Keep on goooiiiing guys! Thanks a million!!!
Hello, I’m 16 and from England but I’m living in Belgium at the moment and I went to see you last night at BSF and you were incredible! My parents brought me up listening to your music and i still have memories of dancing around the sitting room to baggy trousers! My brother saw you two years ago at Leeds fest and even though two of his favorite bands were also there, he said you were the best there and totally incredible and last night you did not disappoint! Congratulations and thank you!
Thanks for coming to the show Heather
can you wish all the summer youth project all the luck in Our House.
My daughter is 9 (Abbie) and is doing it for the 1st time with lots of madness song. many thanks Helen & Abbie (Wyvern Swindon)

hi, last week I seen the limited edition coloured lps on ur site for sale, today I went to buy them, but can’t find them on the site, have you sold out of them?
stay nutty
You can buy them at this link: http://www.plastichead.com/catalogue.asp
Thought I’d collected all remastered 2 disc albums but realise I’m 1 short – The spine letters are currently spelling MADNES! – I have One Step Beyond / Absolutely / Madness7 / Rise & Fall / Keep Moving / Mad Not Mad / Wonderful – What am I missing? Thanks for your help!
The one missing is “The Madness”, hopefully it will be re-issued soon. Meanwhile you can listen to it in full via the Music section of the site.
Keep an eye on this website : http://www.salvo-music.co.uk/
Any idea if Gladness can be purchased online? I would like to get my hands around one of those bottles of lager. I live in Holland. See you in London the 28th of September. 😉
Hi Andre, yes it will be available online very soon, keep an eye on the website for details.
Do you know what time you will be on stage at Blackpool August 31st.Thanks
Dear Andrew
I dunno, when can you turn up? I think it is relatively early.
CB
The event starts at 2pm our set will be at around 5pm (to be confirmed)
Hello, I would love to come & see you all at Blackpool soon but would you recommend me bring my 2 young daughters? They’re 5 and 3 (brainwashed them already! :). Thanks, Cressida x (love what you all do btw) x
Dear Cressida,
I really can’t answer this, it might be a bit rough for them. Sometimes it is very rough. Too much for a 5 and 3 year old. I have not done this event before, can anyone advise her?
thanks, CB
Thanks just checking as we are all going to rush from the Blackpool F.C match to get there in time
Hi Chris, thanks for the reply (only just seen it!). We made it to Blackpool, got to the front & daughter number 1 ended up on stage 🙂 The crowd were fantastic & no pushing, and got a little wave from you too which was lovely. x
hi guys, was wondering if you ever gonna release the b sides of the sigles together, cos im sure there was one about a chap that couldnt eat all the guns he had collected, do you remember that one, take care
Matt
Dear Matt
They have been released, on “The Business” box set.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Business-Definitive-Singles-Collection/dp/B0000071RN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375508866&sr=8-1&keywords=Madness+%2B+the+business
CB
Don’t know if it’s still around, but there was a great singles collection called The Business. It should be on there. (The song you’re referring to can only be ‘Guns.’)
hi the only song i can think about guns is called ‘Guns’ and it was the b side of ‘One Better Day’ which reached number 17 in 1984. I have that on the triple cd called ‘The Business’ which goes from the prine right through to waiting for the ghost train , it has every b side plus extra tracks , jingles etc.
good luck finding it I
bought it at amazon
Just wanted to say a great big thank you to you all for your music over the years! Myself and my husband grew up with your music and are now brain washing our kids with it too (they love it)! We absolutely love the BBC send off and your never too cheap!! Keep up the good work boys the McKay family xx
Dear Amanda
Thanks you have proved [part of] my point made in the answer below.
