Hi Chris!,
AS you sadly aren’t coming to Belfast on this tour, I’ve had to shell out to go to Earls Court, however I can’t wait, and have had to build myself up to it by going to see your old pals Bad Manners last weekend, who have definitely put me in the right frame of mind.
Have you ever come across the band who supported them, Doghouse? Absolutely superb. Played lots of your tunes really well as well as lots of other 2tone treasures. Check them out if you can.
Also, best wishes and a speedy recovery to Lee. Hope we see him back where he belongs soon, and hope his sub enjoys his stint with you!
Cheers John

Dear John
Thanks for showing such dedication that you are coming over here. I don’t have much er..spare time or the inclination to see Madness tribute bands. It would be a busman’s holiday and there is always the worry that they might do the songs better than us. I nearly applied for a Chrissy Boy ad someone told me about once, just to see if I’d gt the job. AnyhowI have never seen one yet. I hear Los Palmas 6 are really good, though. Thommo is more or less back on form.
