Hi Chrissy Boy,

I’m taking the family to see you in Cork in July – I’m living in California but will be in Cork visiting family. My five year old, Liam LOVES you guy’s. I put bands that I grew up listening to on his iPod and he gravitated instantly to Madness. His favorite song is Shut Up. My first album ever as a kid was “the rise and fall” – my sister got it for me for Christmas – now my kids first ever concert will be seeing you in Cork.

If there is anyway that we could get a photograph with the band while in Cork – you would be making lasting memories for two generations of Madness fans.

Thanks,
Des Murray.

Dear Des
I can’t promise anything but if you hang round the venue long enough at sound check time or after show I’m sure some of us will oblige.I suppose after is a bit much for a five year old. Stay in touch let me know how you get on.
good luck CB
