Thommo's Treehouse: Ice Breaker

Name: Justin
Subject: Ice Breaker
Question: ...Question? Everyone asks questions.
Rather I\'d say very well done on some of Madness\'s greatest songs. I really like Samantha a lot, it\'s a great story. I actually do wonder if you came up with the introductions in Yesterday\'s Men, where everything\'s backwards (i.e. you slid up an escalator, traffic is driving backward while Mark un-withdraws a magazine from a pocket. I know you came up with some of the best ideas in the music videos.
Nice of you to have a treehouse, I have one too that I built while listening to \"That\'s the Way to do it AKA Odd Job Man.\" My friend plays saxophone as well but I play drums and bass.
Thanks for the great tunes you helped out with all of Madness\'s stuff. I do drum covers on YouTube (though Chris may have told you)
Thanks again,
J.C.
P.S. I believe you also signed \'Kix\' on that photograph Chris sent me overseas. Thanks for that as well.

Question: Hi Lee, many thanks for all the wonderful years on music and I look forward to my 23 Madness concert at the new Birmingham Academy in December.
The question:
Have Madness ever been offered to perform in front of a full orchestra (Madness at the Proms) and if not, would this appeal to the band? I have always wanted to hear Los Palms 7 played by a full orchestra.
Many thanks
