Hi Chrissy boy, I missed you at Grandslam Lincoln but for my 50th my hubby has surprised me with tickets for Durham. Hope to see you in about 3 hours! Xxx

hi chris loved the bristol gig

Hi CB
Just remembered a really weird dream I had about the band last night (don’t worry you all kept your clothes on!) Anyway, in this dream, me and my wife were in London and we were visiting all of the band at their separate homes. Each home we got to had a really weird way of gaining entrance. When we got to yours, we had to crawl down a tunnel, climb a ladder, go down an alleyway and climb another ladder and go up a spiral staircase. When we met you I said ” you wouldn’t believe the trouble we’ve had getting in here” and you replied “yeah…. it’s madness isn’t it?”.
By the way, that wasn’t a joke it was a real dream, must have been brought on by paying off the ‘House of Fun’ weekend yesterday.

hi Chris. when will you draw the winners of the 3 words beyond competition?

Dear Chris,
Please come to Ireland in 2016,we Irish miss you over here you know. x

Hello Chris

Have you had the chance of listening to Woody’s album yet? What do you think of it? Or did you knew all the songs as you knew most of Chas’ songs before his album appeared?

Hi Chris,

I’ve been re-listening to the Rise and Fall recently (brilliant) and was wondering have you ever considered playing the complete album in its entirety – as a once off gig?

Cheers – Dan

Happy birthday old boy ; been playing the “7” album a lot recently and wonder if there’s any chance of you persuading the guys of dusting off “Day on the Town” at some point in the future. A classic Madness track in my opinion and one of the best you’ve ever composed sir. Respect; as always CJ and see at Durham for the climax of the tour.
Kind regards,
Sean Kilminster

Hello there the mighty Chrissy Boy!!! It’s the nuns here! Great chatting to you in Rhyl and hope you managed to find Thommo and get your train ok?!! We’re coming down to Brighton on Sunday 2nd August until Thursday and as it’s your home town…..we thought If anybody would know where to get a good pint, a better atmosphere and a convent then it would be a local…. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I know it’s not madness business but have inspected the ” do not ask ” list and think I am fine. 😀

Thanks in advance (as long as you check your mails before the weekend.) 😀

Rach.xxx.
mother superior! 😉

Listening to The Beat live in London as I am writing this, a truly great under estimated ska band! Just out of curiousity who was your favourite ska, twotone, rudeboy band of the eighties apart from your great selfs obviously… Will see u at Wolverhampton for the Grandslam, daughters coming aswell with me and the wife because she loved the Madhead London so much!! Much respect, see you at wolves. p.s Would be great if you could give my daughter a shout out during showtime her name is Abi. Cheers have great summer.

Dear Chris. I was looking to buy a signed autographs photo of you and the group. It’s is on a site for madness fans. But I’m a little bit dubious at buying it because of a person who put a question to you on his signed guitar which had the certificate of authenticity but found out it was fake. How would I stand on this to find out if it’s real or fake. Please help. I need this for my wall of fame . thanks tony. P’s my wife said thanks for the weight loss.

Dear Chris. It has come to my attention that when we was at your gig in rhyl my wife jacqui was dancing and jumping around like her life depended on it. It is her first time at a madness gig and ahead loved it. But…….I did notice a better glow in her and her figure. She lost weight…thank. so I think forgot weight watchers and keep fit dvds. Just go a see madness. Thanks Chris your a god send.

Dear Chris. I’ve just got back to Manchester from your rhyl tour. It was fantastic. Can’t wait for next year when your back in manchester at phones 4 u. Once again thanks for the sun and fun. Let’s hope next year I can get all your signatures. I’ll keep trying. Take care you lot of mad heads. Tony

Congratulations on the Grandslam tour, it’s going great guns! Great to see new material being showcased , can’t wait for the album. Is Chas likely to feature on the album or is the current 6 piece?

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to say that New Market was brilliant. It was a dream come true. Back in Canada now safe and sound, with some fantastic memories.

All the best!!!!
Tracy

Hi Chris,

Thanks for a fantastic gig at Hove on Sunday. I thought the set list was particulary good with a nice blend of old and new tunes. Assuming I’ve got the name of the song right can you tell me who wrote Mumbo Jumbo?

Hi my husband, son and friends are all members of a well known local scooter club The A92′s from Dundee and Angus, we will all be at your Montrose gig on the 5th July but a fellow member and keen Madness and scooter fan’s is getting married the day before and I was wondering if you could dedicate a song maybe” It must be love “to them? as we will all be at your gig at Montrose on the day after their wedding they are Keith and Tracey Simpson. Please and Thank you Scooter and Madness Fans The A92′s Scooter Club.

Hi Chris, Haydock’s a week away, getting excited now! Any chance of a shout out for our daughter Tilly? She won’t entirely understand it yet but it’ll be something to tell her in the future! Thanks, as ever!

Are you going to give another rendition of the Blaydon Races at the Chester le street gig then CB?

Hi CB,
Saw you guys last night in Chelmsford. Great as always.
Thought it was fantastic when you played “you said” – how great to hear you do an early album track.
Love the Real Ale too !
Have a great tour.
Rich
