Chris, if it is titled the Madness House of Fun weekender surely fans will/would be expecting Madness to be playing Fri, Sat, Sun. But in the news e-mail today we are told Madness are playing just Fri & Sat, dont you think people will be thinking they might be a bit underchanged somewhat ?

Dear DannyBoy
That remains to be seen. There is a hell of a lot of other excellent entertainment. Do you want a refund? A typical weekend is : Go out on Friday night get in a right state. Feel sorry for yourself on Saturday but go out and do it all again even worse and take it easy on Sunday. That’s my plan. Do you really want to see us three times in a row? We’ll be a bit rough by Sunday night.. We will be playing on Friday and Saturday, two different sets. One on Friday with all the new materiel [which you may not like, another possible cause for complaint] and on Saturday we will play the greatest hits “normal” set, which I think you will like. As I stated above, you can get a full refund now – if this is not satisfactory.
yours faithfully, CB
We get 2 nights of Madness. We already get our cake and can eat it right there, and this guy wants third helpings.
Peter Andre did a Butlins weekender takeover like this one. He failed to play the 1 night he was booked to play (due to illness)and turned up for a short set on the Sunday. The only other enterainment was some xfactor stand in, and a couple of tribute bands. It was same price.
Where as Madness have themed the place out, basically made a mad bestival, put on a ton of live fresh entertainment and variety. Paul Heaton is playing the Sunday. Seems like great value to me, in terms of a party holiday experience, and I dont have to sleep in tent like many festivals.
