Our first issue of the month brings with it news of yet another Madness gig.
It’s only just been announced, but Madness are now booked to perform at the Galway International Arts Festival on Friday 27th July. Check out our Showtimes section for a link to detailed information and to book. Our thanks go to our regular newshound Kieron Murphy for the details.
Also this week, our own Jonathan Young managed to catch Suggs during one of his recent King CNUT shows. If you want to read his thoughts then please check out this week’s feature article.
You may notice that it’s a shorter issue than those sent out of late, but things seem to have gone rather quiet over the past week. We’re sure this is just a blip, and that things will pick up soon enough.

Suggs “My Life Story”, DVD Pre-Order
Release date 2nd March
Price £12
Director Julien Temple (The Great Rock n Roll Swindle, Absolute Beginners) takes a stage show, adds some drama, archive, animation and music, then shakes it all up for MY LIFE STORY where Suggs, takes a hilarious, yet moving, look back at his life in a musical form.
Is it a drama? Is it a comedy? Or a music hall dream? Whatever it is hold on to your seats as Suggs goes on to stumble and plummet through the trap door of failure; then trampoline back up to catch the passing trapeze of show business success.
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 717 – Sunday 3rd February – Saturday 9th February 2013
Sneaking out the day after this issue blasted across the internet was a French release version of Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da, containing “Crying”. We felt that track sounded very “demoey”, and we could see why it failed to appear on the original album release. That said, we were overjoyed to hear another Thommo track from this album’s sessions.
On to the articles, and we began with an piece from Malcolm Wyatt and his blog, where his glowing review of the new Oui, Oui album interspersed with song quotes and nuggets of information.
Moving on, and you may remember that in last week’s issue we reported on The Dublin Castle’s campaign to have their opening hours increased to 3am, from their current 2am late licence.
To help promote the cause the pub had set up a Facebook group to spread the word and gain supporters. Since then almost 650 people had signed-up to the group, and many messages of support had also been posted.
If you had yet to pledge support you were urged to do so via their Facebook page.
Elsewhere in this issue we went over to Paul Rodgers for another one of his Madness Stats, Facts and Figures articles.
“Last week’s chart saw Madness create their own little bit of history.
Ten studio albums released and only one, One Step Beyond…, had ever had two spells in the top 40. Not even Absolutely. That had one long run in the top 40. One Step Beyond… had three spells in the top 40.
The first commenced on 3 November 1979, the second on 9 August 1980 and the third on 14 February 1981.”
Paul then charted the success of Oui, Oui, which entered the top 40 on 10th November 2012, and then left after a two week stay. Thanks to much TV and radio coverage of the band;
“the album completely took off again. After a week out of the top 200 it re-entered at 186, climbed to 76 and then bounced to 16 in last week’s chart to become Madness’ second studio album to have more than one spell in the top 40.”
We brought this issue to a close with the news that Oui, Oui was currently number 33 in the main album charts and number 2 in the Indie charts
10 years ago…
Issue number 457 – Sunday 3rd February – Saturday 9th February 2008
We got this issue off to a flying start with the news that NW5 had managed to hold on for a second week in the UK music charts. Sure, it was way down at number 48, but it was still there.
In the indie charts meanwhile, the single had only dropped two positions to number three, much to the confusion of subscriber Andrew Langmead;
“Can anyone explain this conundrum…
Madness drop to No. 3 on the ‘Indie’ chart, but Radiohead remain at No. 2. However, on the proper singles chart, Madness drop to 48 but Radiohead drop to 60.
If Radiohead had fewer second week sales than Madness, how can they still be ahead on the indie chart?
Makes no sense to me.”
On to the articles, and in this week’s issue we featured a lowdown on the latest episode of Suggs’ “Survivors” series. Here, Suggs visited a lift testing tower in Northampton, a specially designed house, a west end swimming pool and a restored biker’s cafe.
We also had some crushing news, which revealed that contrary to the rumours that the band would be performing at this year’s Coachella Festival, the band currently had no plans to come to the US.
This issue also featured a fantastic article from the March 2008 edition of Uncut magazine, where members of the band looked back on their albums to date. It was a lengthy article, but really well worth a read.
15 years ago…
Issue number 195 – Sunday 2nd February – Saturday 8th February 2003
Following last week’s report where Madness fans were complaining that they were unable to purchase Christmas tour merchandise online Chris Carter-Pegg decided to make further enquiries, and somehow managed to get through to the person in charge of stock at Bluegrape, the company in charge of the band’s surplus stock. The reason for the delay in making stock available to eager fans was apparently down to the staff trying to work out how much stock was left, and what, if any items needed to be re-printed. We were assured that stock would be available to purchase very soon.
Although the primary use of the MIS bulletins is to pass news on to the masses, it’s also a great place for fans to let off some steam, and this is exactly what Graham Whitfield did in his ‘Mis use of Madness’ article. This article in question was actually an amusing tongue in cheek rant at the apparent mis-use of ‘House of Fun’ as background music for one of those ladette documentaries Channels Four and Five are so fond of airing.
Award news in from Chris Carter-Pegg revealed that Musical Stages magazine were predicting that the Our House musical would be the big winner at this year’s Laurence Olivier Awards to be held at the Lyceum Theatre on Friday 14th February.
Following the nominations for the awards, with Our House have been nominated in 3 categories, Musical Stages have placed their own predication on the winner of each category and also indicated their own preferred choice.
Musical Stages predicted that Our House will would in all three nominated categories and they also list them as their preferred choice for each award.
Following last week’s transcription of the Ska Patrol interview with Lee Thompson at The Cardiff International Arena we continue with Ska Patrol’s wonderful question and answer session with Mike Barson, from the same gig. I the interview Mike spoke of moving over to Holland, his recent work with Ian Dury, and how the band were keen to put together an album of covers.

MIS Feature – King CNUT Review
The following review contains some spoilers if you are going to see The Suggs King Knut Tour.
I really enjoyed King Cnut show on its second full night of opening this week in St Albans. I attended with Mr Happy, Alan Flynn (who attended the shows press preview last week) Bev, Dee, Su San, Paul, Mark, Mel and Henry Conlon The landlord of the Dublin Castle who even got a mention in one of Suggs drinking tales. Everyone said afterwards they had thoroughly enjoyed the evening, with most of them learning something new about Suggs during the night.
I’m a little too much of a fanarrack though to say it was full of new insight, it was more the other parts of That Close book told on stage and retelling anecdotes much much lesser heard in years of interviews. So it was very refreshing lesser trodden tales then and none of the first show appears in this, and it is all told rather marvellously, with a new personal story once again woven in as the intrigue to keep you hooked.
The show begins with Suggs wigged up at Glastonbury as he stands on his throne for the night telling you the first of his many celebrity drinking miss adventures.
What a joy then that amongst his Piano renditions of some hit Madness singles comes the solo anthem “Alcohol” a tune penned first for The Lone Ranger LP. Heard hear not like its parent or “no” remix but beautifully acoustic and pared down with a few notable lyric changes to earlier drafts that mark it out as “Demon Alcohol”, it took me back to my 90s album purchase era past to hear it wafting into my ears and reminding of drunken student years. The same happens when That Close takes me back to 2009 gigs, and for Suggs fits with his own youth as he links the song to his actual literal car joy riding past.
One Better Day isn’t quite so well linked to the tales told, but just as beautiful to hear Deano tackle the tune and truly do it justice with his atmospheric playing.
Back to the strop telling and there is yet another Cat tale! thrown in an hilarious one it is too if its possible to tell a shaggy dog story about a dead cat it eventually brings the house down. If Suggs has any more pets then maybe they should worry.
His football interest as well features and while these tales entertained me less in his book, his Chelsea loving Blue day song was fun to hear as I am only a neutral supporter of anything below England level football, that still made me chuckle as Suggs confessed he was unsure how this would go down as he tours the country.
Many back stage music world type drinking story’s involve a pop rival nemesis with the Queen guitarist Brain May exaggerated like many tales are for big fun effect as the King throne show explores its theme of “don’t get above yourself” as we head inevitably towards the roof of Buckingham palace.
This is a show then about what its like to be Suggs the celeb, the one the papers write about, and of course thats the big story’s the team GB stuff that happened after my life story was written or the stirring tales of Suggs in trouble or the headlines a general audience would know IF they read the tabloid side of his life.
The band is mentioned just a little more in this one, as much needed “Leveller” keeping Suggs in check.’
Any memory problems with a new script are deftly handled by a quick chat to involve Deano who’s music papers follow the shows cues and so there is never more than a moments delay with short musical jokes too such as the Sweeny theme denoting a police presence in a tale.
The audience in St Albans, laughed, cheered, sang and clapped a happy hundred minutes.
It doesn’t quite reach My Life Story’s greatness overall perhaps due only to the gravitas of that first shows journey and its first pick of his life experience married to how impressively he birthed into performing as full fledged one man variety style. But King Cnut aims close and has a great point. Its a vastly entertaining show that right now I like better than the first because Suggs is clearly having fun with it and that really comes across now from a Man that’s been doing this style of show for a few years now and has new toys to play with in terms of the stories he is telling, and
I’m a fan who will take “Alcohol” over last shows “Cecilia” any day. I dont think he has ever performed in a ticketed gig a solo released self penned tune before this (except songs in the key of London Oranges and Lemons again)
The packed theatres will lap this up, I think the show might change a couple of sections in and out, as it can and already has since previews, as Alan noticed Bowie and star man has gone from the show. It will be really honed across the tour towards a magnificent Palladium home London Show at the end of March. Suggs touring happily until then and meeting a lot of loyal subjects of his happy fans once again.
Long may King Cnut Reign.
