Hi Chrissy,
Saw you at Madstock and o2 dublin, I thought it was great to see Jerry Dammers share the stage with Madness for night boat to cairo at Madstock. I think jerry dammers is a very under rated artist and all credit to yourselves for giving him some backing and profile. I saw the Specials in nov, a great gig with a great void with the absence of dammers. Suggs paid him a nice tribute on stage in dublin. Bye the way I met Lee Suggs and Carl along with some of the backing singers (don’t think you were there or were you, cos for some reason i think bedders is the only member of madness that i didnt get to meet at the time) in a Pub called the Phoenix in Cork in 1985 during the mad not mad tour. You should come back to the Marquee in Cork again this summer and take the roof off again.
Quick question why no carl on the album cover for One Step Beyond. Anyway cheers for a great year in 2009 with the gigs and TLONF.
Thanks
Gregg
Dear Gregg
Chas wasn’t a full member when we did the cover photos for One Step Beyond but he is [quite rightly] all over the back of the album.
Thanks CB
