Cathal’s Tracks of My years
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wr34/episodes/player
All this week Zoe Ball has been standing in for Ken Bruce on Radio 2, and on each day Carl discussed the Tracks of his Years.
The choice of tracks was certainly varied, ranging from ldies to Blur and even Christina Aguilera.
All five of the shows are on the Listen Again service for a week. Check out the above link.
The Nutty Boys Bowl Into Yorkshire
A CRICKET ground, especially one as revered as Headingley, might seem an unlikely choice of venue for a pop concert.
But it’s far from the strangest place that Madness have played over the years.
“We’ve played at racecourses and football grounds and we once did a tour of circus tents around Britain, so we’ve played in some really obscure places,” explains Suggs.

MIS FEATURE – THE HOUSE OF FUN WEEKENDER LINEUP
A short guide to the newly announced full line up for this year Fifth House of Fun Weekender announced this week.
MADNESS
We think you’ve heard of them! Grandslamming their way across the country still. 36 years on and unleashing new pop tunes.
Our favourite band are believed to be playing new album tracks (according to a Suggs’ video earlier this year), on the Friday night and the hits and more Saturday night. It’s their weekender and it’s the best gig of the year and looking like the last gig of the year here, too. So, lap them both up.
Herbert
House Of Fun
Woody Woodgate
We think you’ve heard of him, too! Bringing Dan Shears, his wife Siobhan and a talented band. The “In Your Mind” new solo album and more can now be heard live. Fresh, dreamy 70’s sounding pop tunes freshly baked and served up to make Sunday an unmissable day at the weekender this year.
In Your Mind
Crunch!
Blimey are the moth balls really off this rocking legendary group? Those of you with long memory will remember these guys also.
Has the magic carpet really been hoovered down after 8 years away? The odd tune from this band may have appeared from Lee’s other bands in recent years and at this weekender. But Without the axeman Chris Foreman, who this week seems to be mentioning Crunch! in the present collective tense of “We”, we can only hope that means a line up close to the classic band. (Though expect Steve Hamilton not dreamboat who’s sold his sax, and original nutty boy Seamus, more likey than a distant Hong Kong) In 1990 this band was all that was left of Madness. How wonderful that they now grace the stage of the weekender. Once mentioned on the lineup poster before, but unable to materialise a couple of years ago, may the magic carpet have a safer runway landing this year, and hop aboard for this unmissable long overdue ride on through.
Magic Carpet.
The Clang Group
This Complete’s an unprecedented third layer in a delicious solo band sandwich. The chances of Suggs popping up for a song with these seems irresistibly likey. Clive Langer who’s written and shaped more Madness tunes than is credited for rocks out guitar in his new band, alongside Andy Mackay from Roxy Music (a band that’s often been a Madness influence). Ship Building (Robert Wyatt) is a tune the band often claim back, alongside some originals and other appropriate covers. Catch one of their sets, what a treat. These gigs will be their biggest to date.
Love is the drug (Featuring Suggs & Bette Bright)
The Cuban Brothers (Hosting Centre Stage Friday Night)
The fake tanned moustached stripping and break dancing Caribbean vibes of the Cuban Brothers will be burned into the eyeballs of many by now after 5 years at House of Fun. If you are among the fans that don’t feel at home without them in your party, they curate Friday night in Centre stage. Singing, DJing and dancing the night away.
@ Hyde Park
Norman Jay
Notting hill sound system DJ. Norman describes himself as a primarily a house music DJ, but the Good Times sound includes 1970s and 1980s funk, soul and jazz funk, previous carnival tracks have typically included estelle’s 1980; and tracks featured in recent radio shows have included Billy Griffin’s “Hold Me Tighter In The Rain” and more contemporary tracks in the form of Heavy’s track “Wonderlove”. Most recently you’ll find him on Radio2.
The History of Good Times
The Dub Pistols.
Electronic with reggae and punk tints, the Dub Pistols have been around since the 90’s with a live band emerging more recently.
From their early singles for Concrete Records to their genre defying ‘Six Million Ways To Live’ lp, the Dub Pistols have always added a much needed Rock n Roll swagger to the UK’s dance scene. Chewing up hip-hop, dub, techno, ska & punk & spitting them out in a renegade futuristic skank they have consistently defied genres & exceeded the highest of expectations.
They are back with a new album ( their 5th release) “Return Of The Pistoleros” released this year.
Worshipping the Dollar album
David Rodigans RAM JAM (Hosting Centre Stage Saturday Night)
Known for Reggae and dance hall music, you’ll find David on Radio 1xtra and Radio 2 and even RAM JAM FM in Grand Theft Auto!
Since the 70’s he has been championing Reggae sounds and returns to house of fun to make that sound Saturday Night. But did you know this trivia, he appeared as an actor in Dr who once during the 80’s. Either way his music is timeless.
@ Notting Hill Carnival

I REMEMBER WAY BACK WHEN
This week, MIS co-editor Rob Hazelby, goes back in time to report on what was going on in the world of Madness 5 years, 10 and 15 years ago this week.
5 years ago…
Issue Number 588 – Sunday 8th August – Saturday 14th August 2010
Just when we thought the already lengthy Madness tour couldn’t get any bigger, we received news revealing that 5 matinee gigs had just been added to the forthcoming Christmas tour.
These earlier shows would not only give Madness fans the chance to attend a gig at a venue that may have sold out, but it also meant that the youngest and smallest Maddies could see their favourite band up on stage.
We were sure that some of you were now planning to go to both the matinee and the evening gigs in the space of the same day. Well, why not?
The matinee shows announced were as follows:
27.11.10 (2.30PM) Glasgow O2 Academy
28.11.10 (2.30PM) Newcastle O2 Academy
04.12.10 (2.30PM) Leicester De Montfort Hall
05.12.10 (2.30PM) Leeds O2 Academy
11.12.10 (2.30PM) Birmingham Academy
We kicked off this week’s selection of articles with news from the Australian Daily Telegraph, who reported that musician Calvin Harris was said to be furious after a practical joke found him locked in a partaloo at Camp Bestival.
The singer was trapped in the toilet for almost ten minutes as Suggs had jammed the door.
Moving on, and it was over to the This is Bristol web site, who were reporting that Madness had been booked to perform at the Cardiff International Arena on the 13th of December.
“The box office opened this morning for all the dates, including a show at Cardiff CIA on December 13 and tickets are likely to achieve the gold-dust status they enjoyed last year”.
On to fan news now, and in the previous week’s MIS we reported that Madness fan Ian Wall was dismayed to have his gig ticket stub taken off him as he donned his VIP wristband. Keen to get a stub for his collection we put a call out in the last issue.
Here’s what Ian had to say;
“Can I say a big thank you for putting my Margate gig ticket request in the news letter.
I have been offered the two tickets I was after and want to send a big thank you to Kirsty Winter and Gary Payney for being the first to offer me a ticket.
Only fitting that I make donation to Woody’s charity as a way of showing my appreciation from everybody who got in touch, it was really appreciated.
And from all the readers of MIS newsletter, can we thank all those hard working individuals that help keep us informed and entertained with a weekly dose of Madness.
Ian”
Next, it was over to Paul Rodgers who reported that the recent 10” special editions of One Step Beyond, Absolutely and Rise and Fun all charted in their simultaneous week of release. Madness’s albums reached 23, 31 and 37.
And finally, we brought this issue to a close with the news that you could now download one of the tracks from Paul Heaton’s forthcoming album, which he’d be promoting during his support slots at the Madness Christmas tour later in the year.
10 years ago…
Issue 326 – Sunday 7th August to Saturday 13th August 2005
We started off this week’s issue with news from Jean-Pierre Boutellier, who reported that Madness had actually gone back UP in the French singles chart. Last week the Shame and Scandal single was nestled at number 22. This week it had gone up to 17.
JP also reported that the album hadn’t’ budged since the previous week, and was still perched at a very respectable number 20.
Back in the UK HMV had the new album listed at a respectable number 10. Amazon.co.uk meanwhile had the album in their `Hot 100` at number 27 and with a sales rank of 16. Woollies, and recent shunners of Madness had the album at number 18 in their chart, WhSmith at 16, Asda at 13, Sainsbury’s at 12, Tesco at number 38, and Play.com at number 26.
What of the UK `official` chart position? Well, you’d be very pleased to learn that the album had entered the charts at a stunning 11th place! Considering both the album and single hadn’t had a huge amount of UK publicity this was excellent news for both the band and us, the fans.
Whilst the UK Shame and Scandal single had just been released there was already discussion over on The Madness Trading Ring and Total Madness Mailing regarding what the next release should/would be.
However, it looked as if Wee Stoo has managed to find the answer by digging out a recent press release from the V2 newsletter.
Here’s what Stoo had to say at the time;
“Those of you who subscribed to V2 Newsletter (and those on the MTR as it has already been posted there) will now know there will indeed be a second single off the album. I hand you over to the relevant paragraph:
Madness release The Dangermen Sessions Volume One a feel-good, upbeat collection of Ska-covers that are born to be played – the perfect accompaniment to your summer!
From the first single “Shame and Scandal” through tracks like “You Keep Me Hanging On”, Lola”, “The Israelites”, “John Jones” the irrepressible sense of fun and wit that is the core of Madness cuts through and leaves a smile on your face. Listen to the next single ‘Girl Why Don’t You’ by clicking here! Like what you hear then click here to get your copy!”
Now all we needed was a release date!
Moving on, and we passed things over to Chris Mountain, who was one very cheesed-off fan. On Saturday morning’s Radio 2 show we were promised Madness, but not Suggs. Later it was Woody and Lee, and finally it was Woody on his own as Lee didn’t turn up.
Next was the band’s appearance on Top of The Pops that got Chris’ goat, as instead of airing the new single, they instead covered The Kinks classic Lola.
Chris finished his rant by commenting;
“Don’t get me wrong , I love Madness and have done for 20 years, maybe that’s why I feel so disappointed. It’s as if they can’t be bothered themselves.
Somebody put me right , tell me I’m wrong.”
On to something a bit jollier, and it was back to Jean-Pierre Boutellier again, this time with news that Madness (presenting The Dangermen Sessions) would be performing at Olympia, France on 17th October.
Madness were doing well in both the UK and French charts, but this week we discovered that in one place at least, their new album had managed to get to number 1.
After much plugging on the WMUH radio station Madness with The Dangermen Sessions were at the number 1 spot. We’re pretty sure that without DJ James Clauser’s hard work plugging the album so hard, that it probably wouldn’t have been in the top 20, let alone number 1.
We drew this issue to a close with news in from ‘Birchy’, who reported that a picture disc version of The Dangermen Sessions was about to see the light of day. Limited to a mere 1000 pressings, Birchy had managed to secure a number of these, and was putting these up for sale. The price? A mere £10 including postage and packing!
Those who took Birchy up on his offer would not be disappointed.
15 years ago…
Issue number 65 – Sunday 6th August to Saturday 12th August 2000
First up and it was some disappointing news from Virgin’s Jake Stavrindes, the kind chap who had been given the job of promoting the forthcoming Madness book. As many of you who had visited the MIS Online website were aware, the cover artwork was all complete, and the Madness community were all looking forward to a release in November of this year.
Unfortunately Jake emailed in the other day to inform us that the book has now been put back till March 2001!! Asking Jake as to why this was the case he replied, saying that it was decided that the timing was better as he was under the impression that there was more activity happening in 2001 than this autumn/ winter.
Did he know something we didn’t? Only time would tell.
On to some pub news now, and TMML subscriber, Suggsylia reported that rumour has it that The Dublin Castle would be re-opening its doors to the public on August 6th. Furthermore, a party would be taking place to which the legendary Suggs had been invited! Pete Bament, also of the TMML told us that the DC was in no fit state to re-open, but admitted that it was possible to do a lot in only a few days.
On to this week’s articles, and we started-off with a review of the recent Ian Dury Tribute Concert, which took place at the Brixton Academy. The lengthy article, kindly typed-up by Fiona Linnell, gave the night a glowing write-up, classing it as “A fine send-off, then, for one of British rock’s truly individual greats”.
Next-up was Jon Young with background information on a rumour of a rare track by Suggs. The track was produced in collaboration with Massive Attack singer, Tricky, but had never seen an official release.
It was time to track down some money next, as we reported on John Lawrence, who had sold someone tickets to the recent Ian Dury tribute gig, but who had now encountered problems cashing the cheque or contacting the person who owed the money. We had little information to go on, but hoped the information we printed was enough to get the money into his bank account somehow.
Elsewhere in this issue we reported on the opening of Chas Smash’s new web site www.chassmash.co.uk. Currently the site was just getting going, but was already sporting a biography, list of songs and a timeline.
Peter Gardner, who gave us the heads-up, urged us to check it out.
Rob Hazelby
TIME…
Next week, our Live and Intensified section returns with a full review of last week’s Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra gig, with support from Home Town Hi Fi, Darren Bennett and Madame Sorcher.
It all went well of course, and you can read more on it all in next week’s MIS.
Have a good week!
