Chris,
Again big thanks for all of this it means the world to me. Also have to say thanks for the past 30 years and for the next 30. The thing that strikes me about the whole band is how on the level you all are there’s nothing patronising like the majority of bands. I am positive that you haven’t got the recognition you all deserve and I’m sure many others would agree with. I m not claiming to be great at what I do but I honestly believe I wouldn’t be the position I am in without Madness think I would have fallen by the wayside in fact I’m sure I would have. Through your songs and interviews and words of wisdom you’ve all been a guiding light like seven older brothers and I d like to thank you. Hopefully catch up with you for a beer and I ll be there in Birmingham for my final gig on this tour. It’s been fantastic so far and the new songs are stacking up very well indeed so the new album won’t be long. Thanks Kev the teacher.

Thanks Kev
I actually met you didn’t I?
all the best CB
