Thommo's Treehouse: not really a question, but oh well
Subject: Japanese scarf Question: Hi Lee, Have a great time in Auld Reekie tonight. I remember the first time I saw you guys was Edinburgh. I had to get a paper round to get money to buy the tickets but it was so worth it. I have loved Madness ever since first seeing you on TOTP playing The Prince and it was fantastic to meet you all in Edinburgh in 83 when I sneaked in with my sister. Wish you all the best for 2010 and may the good ship Madness sail on and on. Happy New Year. p.s I have uploaded a clip of you and Chrissy playing Tarzans nuts on youtube at the O2. You will also see picture of the Japanese scarf. -- Name: Gfdsy Juky

Thommo's Treehouse: manchester
Subject: Manchester Question: Hi Lee,how are you? My friend Lisa and I used to know you quite well in the \'80s,we used to travel down from Scotland aged about 16 and hang around at your rehearsal studios in Market St and Islington (near Upper St I think) and also sometimes at the recording studio under/near the Westway. We even went down to Glastonbury with you which was 85 or 86. I have got some photos of you from those days and would love to email them to you. I will send them to info@madness.co.uk with a message for them to be forwarded to you. The last time I saw you was at a Nutty Boys gig in central London in about 92-you staged dived but the audience didn\'t catch you and you then ran up some stairs to say hello and then went back on stage! I also remember hanging out at your hotel in Glasgow when you were touring in about 85 with the two Jimmy\'s on backing vocals if I remember correctly. I think we tried to sleep on your floor after running around the corridors waking people up! At the Edinburgh Playhouse me and Lisa managed to blag our way into a box! Anyway we saw you last year in Manc and are coming to see you on the 15th and would love to say hello,get in touch if you get this and will email you the photos to jog your memory. Lots of love from Claire xxx -- Yes, I remember this but not the venue. Would love to see these photos.Best wishes,you blagger! x Name: chris

Subject: December in Belfast Question: (please don\'t include for public viewing Lee). Hi Kix, Can you help? I\'ll tell you what it is mate, i am founder of One Step Beyond scooter club in Belfast, (formed Oct 09). I asked Chris to put the proposal of forming the club to the band for approval as i didnt want to infringe any copyrights, and to extend honourary membership to you all. Happily, all was cleared for me to proceed and since then, the club has stedily grown and been involved in various charity work, including \'Help For Heroes\' and \'Childrens Hospitals\' etc. I asked if it would be possible to perhaps meet you lot after the Belfast show, in order to give you club certificates / stickers etc, Chris said \'come along with the club on the night and who knows\'... To be honest, since that i\'ve tried contacting Chris by email on several occasions to verify this arrangement, but my emails mustn\'t be reaching him. Basically i need to find out what i do or who i ask for, following the concert in Belfast, because i\'m quite sure me saying to security, \'I\'ve gifts for the lads, we\'re the official scooter club, they\'re expecting me\', isn\'t going to get me very far. If you could chase it up for me mate it would be sincerely appreciated. I hate hassling you all, especially on the first day of the tour, but this means an awful lot to me and as a dedicated fan since \'79, (as are my kids and grand-kids), i wouldn\'t want to miss a lifetime opportunity to finally meet you all. Any help you can kindly offer will be totally appreciated, please feel free to use the Club email address should you wish. Merry Christmas and good health to you and yours Lee, Colin (Belfast). No Hassel geez, Chasing is my middle name,all you have to do is get in touch with the hotel im in & I will sort the rest,,,,,,deal? Name: kevvyboy
