[1] - THE EDITOR WRITES

Evening Maddies,

I hope everyone is well on yet another damp and windy Sunday evening.
If it's nice where you are, please do not send me mails telling me
how good the weather is where you are. I've already had that from one
subscriber attempting to rub it in. Between 25 and 35 degrees indeed.
Pah!

Following the recent news that a new Madness album, entitled `Madness
- The Ultimate Collection` is about to start doing the rounds, Simon
Mulvaney has been doing some sniffing around, and reports that the it
is an American release which should be available in the UK on import.
If you need yet another Madness compilation album, you'd better
yourselves down your local music specialist.

Calling all musically-minded Maddies far and wide. MIS subscriber,
Suzie Wilkins is desperately after the `Divine Madness` song book
which as far as I know has long been out of print. If you have a copy
you're willing to sell, or you can point her in the direction of one
for sale, please get in touch with her at the following address:
Wilkins.Family at btinternet.com

Fancy meeting up with fellow Madness fans in the warm surroundings of
the re-furbished Dublin Castle pub? If so, you'll probably be
interested to hear that there will be a small meet-up on Saturday
18th November in the DC. The idea is to meet up for a drink and a
chat before going to see a band in the evening. If you're interested,
please could you get in touch with Jerney at:
El-Thommo at iwantyourbody.co.uk (interesting email address!) so she
has some idea of who to expect.

News just in from Tony Judge of the excellent Official Stiff records
website at: http://www.bestiff.co.uk is that the site is due to
undergo some major revamping. This may take up to 6 months due to the
re-coding and researching for the site. If anyone out there want's to
help buy background for their former Stiff details or any fans want
to help with the artists biographies please feel free to send the
info to Tony by dropping him a mail at: bestiff at bestiff.demon.co.uk

Slightly off-topic, but will be of interest to many of you out there;
The TMML's Andy Clayden tells us that a new Bad Manners best of due
for release in a couple of weeks time. The album will be entitled,
"Magnetism". Thanks go to Andy for the info.

Over the ever-informative Wozza now, who reports that;

     "I received an email from Terry Edwards the other day
      with a bit of Butterfield 8 news for anyone interested.
      There will be a new album out shortly called "Ontogeny
      - No fish is too weird for her aquarium vol II" and it
      will feature the unreleased Butterfield 8 track, which
      is a cover of "Thoughtforms", a song by Lush.

      Terry is having trouble with his mailing list, so try
      and spread the word, and buy the album :o)"

Wozza also says that the legendary Woody has joined `Terry Edwards
and The Scapegoats`.

Many thanks to Wozza for keeping us up-to-date.

Onto this issue now, and you can tell that the party season is fast
approaching as One Step Behind recently announced their gig line-up
running till the end of the year, and this issue we have gig details
for Badness, Complete Madness and Los Palmas 6. There's a whole
stack of dates for you all to chose from, so you should be able to
get along to at least one of the shows. If you've not seen any of the
Madness tribute bands that are currently doing the rounds, do so -
you will not be disappointed!

With that in mind, lets get straight on in with issue 78.

Enjoy the read,

Robert Hazelby (MIS Online Editor)

Reviews

Chris Foreman, Madness

Once I'd put this book down, I couldn't pick it up again!

Book Description

The only book ever to detail the history of one of Britain's best
loved and most successful bands - from their days leading up to fame
and fortune when they were known as the Invaders right through to
their Madstock reunion concerts. Baggy Trousers, One Step Beyond,
Embarrassment, Our House, and so the hit list continues for the
nutty boys. The book includes tons of info for the casual fan as well
as the Madness die-hard, and includes colour as well as black and
white photos and a full UK discography.

>From the Publisher

It's Madness. Total Madness. And we wouldn't want it any other way!

About the Author

George Marshall has championed street music, and particularly ska,
for well over a decade. His love of 2 Tone began in 1979 and has now
lasted over 20 years. He has also written The Two Tone Story, and
several over books about the skinhead cult.

Excerpted from Total Madness by George Marshall. Copyright © 1993.

When it comes to towns, cities and countries, absence really does
make the heart grow fonder. Romanticism replaces realism as your
mind's eye turns litter-filled back streets into green and pleasant
lands. And the longer you're away, the bigger the fairy tale. Maybe
that's why the biggest patriots tend to be those living in exile,
forced or otherwise. To one Graham McPherson, paradise lost was
London. Not that he was born within the sound of Bow Bells or
anything, but when you spend your childhood being passed from pillar
to post, the bright lights of the Big Smoke can appear very
attractive indeed. He was actually from the Sussex seaside town of
Hastings, but didn't stay there very long. His father walked out on
the family when Graham was three, leaving his mum, a jazz singer, to
bring his sister and him up. Single parents don't have it easy at the
best of times, but when you're trying to make a living touring the
pubs and clubs, family life ends up taking a back seat. The young
Graham McPherson found himself living in far-flung cities of the old
Empire, like Manchester and Liverpool, before being sent to live with
his aunt in North Wales at the age of eight. At least one good thing
came out of his connection with the music world though. His nickname,
Suggs, was borrowed (and never returned) from a flautist in a jazz
encyclopedia. He spent four years in Wales, living the life of a
yokel while dreaming of London and all it would offer him.

More than anything, Suggs wanted to be part of the mod and skinhead
gangs he read about in the 'papers. And come the day when his mum did
decide to move back down south and settle in North London, Suggs was
on his way to the big time. Well, that was the game plan anyway. The
problem was that nobody had told the London kids what the game was.
When he arrived at Quinton Kynaston all boys' school in Swiss
Cottage, not only was he treated like a country bumpkin, but the mod
and skin gangs he had hoped to join were now a thing of the past. He
still didn't belong and his childhood remained largely a solitary
one. The moving from town to town hadn't helped academically, and his
mum never made him go to school anyway, but he did get two O-levels
and a CSE, and stayed on for the sixth form. It wasn't that he really
wanted to, but it was worth his while to do so thanks to the social
security rules of the day. Gangs hadn't disappeared entirely however.
One in particular, the Aldenham Glamour Boys, had a name for
themselves in this neck of the woods. They were a peculiar mixture of
suedeheads, teds and Roxy Music freaks who took their name from the
Aldenham Boys Club that they frequented. Each was an outcast in his
own way, but together they were something people took notice of,
something to be reckoned with. Like all mobs, they got into fights
with rival gangs, but such is growing up in the darker corners of any
city you care to mention. A Clockwork Orange was showing in cinemas
at the time and the Glamour Boys saw it countless times. Mind you,
the same was true of that other film that threatened the very fabric
of society, Dumbo, which they were also regulars at. Suggs first met
the gang in a street in Hampstead and spent the rest of the day
knocking back pints with them. In a world of daft flares and even
dafter Kevin Keegan haircuts, the Aldenham Glamour Boys stood out
a mile. Spray-painted DMs and imported Levi's 501 jeans were the
order of the day, as were ex-G.P.O. Morris Minor vans. Nothing but
the best for these lads. This was the life Suggs had been looking
for, but little did he know what fate had in store for him and
certain Glamour Boys. Among this motley crew of misfits were three
blokes who had known each other since primary school, and who Suggs
was going to get to know very well too. Step forward Chris Foreman,
Mike Barson and Lee Thompson. Chrissy Boy Foreman had left Owen's
Grammar School in Islington with a single O-level to his name, and
ended up doing a series of dead-end jobs like hospital porter, and
painter and decorator. He and Lee actually worked together for a
while as gardeners for Camden Council which was a better laugh, but
not exactly a passport to the good life. Lee came from the wrong
side of the tracks and for a time looked like he would stay there.
He was brought up in a block of flats on Highgate Road mainly by
his mum, as his dad spent much of his time behind bars. Young Thommo,
as his mates called him, was no angel either and soon rang up 13
court appearances himself. On his 14th birthday, he bunked off
school and stole a bag from a hospital locker. In it was 130,
mostly in coins, and he made the mistake of giving out handfuls of
50p pieces to his mates. Someone grassed on him, and Thommo ended
up getting a kicking off the Old Bill and getting sent down from
November 1971 to January '73. Chafford Approved School played host
to him, but at least he was allowed out at weekends . . .

Well, what are you waiting for? If you don't have this book, then you
really need to remedy the situation at the earliest moment possible.
Log on to Amazon and order your copy now!

Many thanks to Mark for the news.

[5] - FEEL LIKE JUMPIN'

At long last, the legendary `Badness` have finally got themselves a
presence on the internet. I've been meaning to plug this for some
time, but for one reason or another, I kept missing it from editions
of the MIS.

So, without further ado, here's Mike Watts with some more info...

Badness, a tribute to Madness, Bad Manners and the Ska and Two-Tone
era...

The band were formed in July 1994. "BADNESS" quickly became one of
the top Ska / 2Tone revival bands in the country.

Within six months the band were selling out various venues across
the United Kingdom Ireland,

Originally a seven piece outfit, consisting of guitar, bass, sax,
trumpet, keyboards and vocals. They soon became six, with frontman
and vocalist (and only original member) taking over on the trumpet
(but not at the same time!)

Playing classic Madness, Bad Manners and The Specials, to name but a
few, "BADNESS" also play a few of their own songs, written with input
from every member of the band. "Trojan Horse" is an instrumental soon
to be available on CD.

With tours of Israel, Germany and Spain under their belts and having
played every town & city in the U.K. {well almost!} "BADNESS" have
built up a cult following and regularly sell out venues across the
country.

Re-live the "Dance Crazy" days of the late 70's & early 80's with the
No.1 SKA revival band in the U.K.

But be prepared to "Enjoy yourself" ~ It'll be a Hot & Sweaty one!

Mike Watts

BAND PROFILE ...

Mike Watts: Age 34 - Vocals / Trumpet / Harmonica.
The only original member of Badness after jointly forming in July
1994. Mike has had a number of jobs ranging from the Jewellery trade
to Caravan manufacturing as well as being in the entertainment
business until turning professional when Badness where formed. He
has gained valuable experience on the "Northern Club Circuit" with
such bands as "The Rooftops" and "Joe Stax and the Soul Stars".
Having been a guitarist in the past, Mike now concentrates on lead
vocals, trumpet and harmonica, giving Badness that authentic Ska sound.

Gary Kirk: Age 25 - Drums / Vocals.
Gary has been playing the drums for over ten years now, having bought
his first drum kit at school. The first bands he joined where
original bands such as "Janus Stark" playing indie rock music and
supporting bands like "Cast". He has had various jobs including
farming! In which he proudly claims to have a City & Guilds in Pig
Production {oo-arr!}. Gary has been a big Madness fan for almost
fifteen years and has settled in well since joining the band in
October 1998. Gary also states that the definition of a farmer is
- "a man outstanding in his own field".

Nick Prescott: Age 28 - Guitarist.
Nick is the newest member of Badness. Nick joined the Navy at 16 and
trained as a marine engineer. Not happy with that career he left
after 5 years and enrolled at Hull's Riley College studying Performing
Arts and working in local recording studios. During the next six
years, one of which was spent at Leeds College of Music, Nick
performed in various Jazz / Funk bands such as "Ombu" and
"Thelonious Funk" until landing the job in Badness in October 1999.

Matthew Jackson: Age 25 - Keyboards / Vocals.
Having a toy vacuum cleaner and a keyboard bought for him as a
Christmas present at the age of 5. Matthew fortunately chose the
latter as a career! After leaving school he worked at "Kwik Save" for
three months but soon climbed the Supermarket ladder and joined
"Tesco's" he stayed there for six years. Introduced to the band by
a mutual friend, Matthew joined Badness in February 1997.

Jimmy Hargreaves: Age 21 - Bass / Vocals.
After joining Badness Jim became the youngest ever member. Since the
age of sixteen he had had several dead end jobs until enrolling at a
Hull Music College where he stayed for eighteen months studying
"Music Theory and Six String & Bass Guitars". This experience of
music proved invaluable when he auditioned and joined Badness in
1998, and it has been all downhill since.

Chris Spelman: Age ? - Tenor Saxophone / Vocals.
Chris had been working as a Driving Instructor since 1986 and so was
a very nervous character. He saw Badness in Hull in October 1994. His
youth was spent riding Lambrettas and as a member of the famous Hull
Drifters Scooter Club had developed a love of all things Ska. "When
I saw Badness for the first time it was like a trip down memory lane
for me." He did not play the Sax then but decided to learn after
chatting to the then sax player "Rubber John." Chris joined the
Badness in January 1997 as Saxophonist and played for nearly three
years. He has since gone on to play with Bad Manners and several
other local bands but made a return in July 2000, and now we're stuck
with him.

Craig Deans: Age 26. - Vocals / Lard / Frontage.
Craig was introduced to Badness when he was looking for a roadies job
in 1996. It was only after this that one of the band members realised
that he may look like a certain Duggie Trendle. At the time Craig had
a lovely head of "Patrick Troughton" hair. He was persuaded to shave
his head and learn some songs and there he was, Badness' own "Buster
Beefburger." Craig joined Badness and left after getting married to
Liz in 1997. He has seen the Badness light and has joined again in
September 2000. Catch our own Mr. Fatty Fatty at a gig near you, see
the giglists to see for yourself, all 25 stone of him, mmmmmm.

If I can push my poor grasp of the French language to its limits,
next week will feature a review of the French Ska-zine, `Ska News`
which arrived on my doorstep earlier this week. I was initially
hoping to review it in this issue, but it's been rather a busy week
and as such, haven't had chance to have a good look through it yet.

As always, if you have anything you feel would be worth including
in a future issue of the MIS, please get in touch as I'll be more
than happy to include it.

Now, get check your work schedule and other commitments and get
yourself along to one of the gigs listed above!

Until next week, take care.
