was at the blackpool gig, and as expected, it was MEGA!!!! as you always are! Loved hearing Young and the Old again, and the new stuff sounded amazin! I know you’ve all done loads of tourin in the last couple of years, which is great for us fans, expecially hard core Maddies like me, but it must be very hard on your families. Please say a BIG MASSIVE thank you to them as well. Just a couple of questions – Do you still rehearse songs like Baggy Trousers, Our House etc. and Whats your favourite chocolate? Anyway, see you on Tuesday for the Manchester gig where I hope to get a piccy with your good self! Lovin the tunes and lovin having soooo much Madness in my life!!! Thanks Chris, Suggs, Lee, Woody, Mike, Carl and Bushers!!! P.S. Please tell Bushers he’s doin a fantastic job. Bye f! or now Alison x

Dear Alison
We don’t really have to rehearse them, as we have done a lot of shows this year. The other night I had a total mental block on Baggy Trousers though.
thanks CB
here’s Bushers in action…
