Disappearing London 2 / Toerag Studios

Suggs is back with a new series of his award-winning show, Disappearing London, setting off on another journey in search of the capitals vanishing history, and celebrating the endangered buildings, open spaces and unsung treasures which give the city its character and charm, but which may not be around for very much longer.

The series kicks off on Tuesday January 9th at 7.30pm (ITV1 London, also on digital) and runs for 6 weeks (Jan 9,16,23,30, Feb 6 & 13).

Amongst the many highlights from the new series, is the sight (and sound) of Suggs doing a music hall duet with legendary entertainer Roy Hudd, plus a visit to a 60s-style recording studio in the east end where Madness have recently been recording using a mixing desk from Abbey Road.

In other programmes Suggs investigates the story of London’s Tin Pan Alley, explores Churchill’s forgotten wartime hideaway and finds out what a World War Two prisoner of war camp is doing in the middle of a South London park. He also visits ex-boxing champ Clinton Mackenzie in his pub gym and investigates the hidden history of horse-drawn London.

Packed with surprising information, great characters, and some fabulous old archive film, Disappearing London gives viewers a chance to discover some of London’s best-kept secrets, before they disappear for ever.

To find out more visit the website at http://www.disappearinglondon.com/, where you can watch clips from series 1 and post your own stories. It also contains information about a DVD based on the programmes, which will soon be available to purchase.

Disappearing London is a Wavelength Films production for ITV London

New Lost tracks Downloads

You'll have read by now about the 1979 bootleg that has surfaced on file sharing sites this week. Well thanks to the wonderful wayfinder's hard work, on christmas eve (whilst ill with a cold and only cans of lager to console him ) you can now get this concert in MP3 free from the MIS download website.

Also the Electric Ballroom Concert from Christmas 2005 that has been widely sold as a dodgy DVD from market stalls is now online in the video section for free download for all readers and fans.

Most wonderfully though you can now also hear a set of 4 unheard demo/rehearsal versions of tracks from yesteryear. Some of which were demoed for an album after mad not mad that was never completed by Madness, as they became The Madness instead. We are calling this era "lost in the museum" reclaiming a title that was joked about by the band before they bought out the Mad Not Mad album.


We reported on Lost tracks being available on the Smash Website a while back in 2006. And Since the closure of that website we are able to bring you 4 more new tracks available as a zip file mp3's. Here they are:


Victoria Gardens (Rehearsal Demo) - [Keep Moving era]

It's for the Best (Lee Kix Demo)

She Walks Alone (Became Green Eyes) (Alt instrumental 'Golden Brown style!')
Be Good Boy (Instrumental version)



Because you've all been good this Christmas. Enjoy.

RECORD COLLECTOR: Download talks to Carl.

Record collector magazine tracked down Cathal Smyth to find out more about the new Madness downloads... here are a couple of extracts from the short interview in the download collector section.

Of all your singles and Bsides from in this new download sets which do you think defines the spirit of the band?

"Mistakes, the B side of One Step Beyond. It was written at a young age, but is wise way beyond our years." And which are the forgotten gems? "Primrose hill (from rise and fall), Take it or leave it and Not Home Today (both from Absolutely) and Song in red (The Madness)"

What was the last online music purchase that you downloaded?

"The last was a zombies thing, I like the idea of remembering something and being able to instantly put your hands on it"

Which downloads sum you up as a songwriter?

"Wonderful and Tomorrow's Just Another Day... they all share personal experiences. There's also a great melancholy within those songs, and they're constructed in a classic pop way..."

That's It. Lights out. Tour ends in family stage invasion.

The Christmas Tour ends in style with a trio of great gigs this week.

We've heard glowing report from Brighton and Bournemouth and will bring you a reveiw from Paul Rodgers on Sunday of one of these show.

Wembley was full of love from the band and for the band, with It must be Love being dedicated to the Foreman, Macpherson, Smyth, Woodgate, Barson, Bedford, Thompson families and also to all of you and your familys too to have a Merry Christmas.

I Happily met with Fans from America, Japan, France and Spain as well as gangs of Londoners, and it was a great evening in a refurbished Wembley that Suggs joked was just them moving the stage from the old end to the new other end of the building.

A similar rearanged set list of the songs they have been playing recently made for a great london show, in which On the beat pete was now sounding professional with nearly all the words in the right place, and NW5 was being clearly sung along to be some members of the crowd. Even Sorry was sounding like a full band live song now and was danced to after the prince by mad throngs in the crowd down the front.

Two more songs "I'm leaning on a Lampost" and "Help" were semi added to proceedings.

The first which featured partly improvised guitar and bass backing only was in jest about how long Madness have been going with Suggs talking about hits before the war. The second was a smash led crowd chorus of beatles togetherness.

Wembley Set List. (Bournemouth similar except Taller than you are replaced You Keep Me Hanging on.)

One Step Beyond,Embarrassment,My Girl,The Sun & The Rain,You Keep Me Hanging On,Tomorrow's Just Another Day,NW5,(Leaning on a Lampost),The Prince,Sorry,Return Of The Los Palmas 7,Shut Up,I Chase The Devil AKA Ironshirt,Bed & Breakfast Man,On The Beat Pete,Grey Day,(Help),House Of Fun,Lovestruck,Wings Of A Dove,Baggy Trousers,Our House,It Must Be Love,Swan Lake,Madness...

Night Boat to Ciaro ended this excellent tour with it's pyramid backdrop singalong graphic and then a stage invasion of all the familys of the band and friends video mixed in. Suggs wife anne presented him with some flowers as a 25th wedding present. Baloons and streamers fell onto the stage and the whole thing appeared on the big screen looking like an image from a Tiswas TV show.

Madness' final christmas tour message is now up on the Madness tour 2006 page.

Oh No he didnt! Suggs stars in Radio Panto with Dr Who!

Suggs played the "Liary Godmother" alongside fellow Virgin Radio DJ Christian OConell. A stella cast including Brian Blessed and current Dr Who David Tennant, who played "buttons" rambeled through Virgin Radios Christmas panto of Cinderella on Thursday Morning.

It was a recorded audio part from Suggs played into the live play, with the odd joke about him still being drunk from the wembley gig party. Thus explaining why he is not seen on the web camera. A web cast is now online at http://www.virginradio.co.uk/djs_shows/shows/breakfast/features/christmas_panto.html

What Goes Around... Carl talks to Brum News

Extracts from a Birmingham interveiw with Carl. Full verison in XMIS eve issue.

How's the New album progressing?

"It's going very well, we have four to five songs more or less completed including a song called NW5 which will feature in the gigs, and another 10-15 minute opus about London which is easily our longest song to date. The plan is that we'd ideally have another single around April/May then release the album in June."

How did the collaboration with rapper Sway and Baby Blue come about?

"We had heard that Sway liked Madness and we'd got this track Sorry which had been offered to us by the house producer Tim Deluxe, and thought that he could probably add something to it. We called him up and he did it within a day - he brought Baby blue along."

Your last album, The Dangermen Sessions, Was a nod to your ska roots - will the new album continue that theme? Or is it very different?

"It's different and the same! The way it's being recorded is similar to the style of Dangermen Sessions, but also of early Madness. Suggs has said that the new album contains the traditional rich british pop of early Madness but from a 40-year-old perspective, and I wouldn't argue with that - at least not yet."

Any plans to tour the musical?Our House?

"Funny you should ask, it's become a whole new leaner and meaner beast with bits cut out and others honed into shape and it'll be touring in 2007 probably playing as many dates as we will."

Do you sense any Madness influence in any Contemporary acts? If so, who and any thoughts on them?

"The Madness is all around, and you can hear it everywhere if you listen hard enough. Woody played with Franz Ferdinand at the reading festival and was treated like a rock legend apparently, so there's a lot of love out there and we try to reciprocate. Suggs has done some stuff with The Ordinary Boys and then did It Must Be Love with Preston and AL Murray of all people at the V Festival. Suggs has also done stuff with the Audio bullys and might so more with Sway. I like it that people think we're and influence just as the bands that came before were an influence to us. What Goes around..."

Dangermen 1979 - Lola live in Bournemouth 27 years ago

"What a find! It is a fascinating very early bootleg concert recording. Lola, Madness 1979 style is to say the least 'interesting'. "Young and the Old" is an early version, and almost complete with the sounds of things. Also there are some extremely rare outings in bootleg land for Believe me and Mummy's Boy, and Tarzan's Nuts is the best bootleg version I have heard."

No MIS for Hotmail Users


Those of you subscribed to the MIS with your Hotmail accounts may have noticed a lack of MIS in your mailbox last night.

We're not sure why this problem affected users of Hotmail, but it does seem as if everyone else received the weekly bulletin without a hitch.

After some debate we've decided to re-post the MIS in the hope that this mailing will finally see Hotmail users finally getting their hands on their copies of this week's issue. For the rest of you we do apologise for the spam, and ask that you simply delete this extra copy.

To make up for this extra mail-out, we're delighted to inflict you all with a piccy of a certain Mr. Fossard and Mr. Thomas, taken at the Birmingham gig last Saturday. Our kindness knows no bounds!

Dublin: To The Point of Madness

I made the 102 mile journey down to Dublin from Belfast after what seemed like an eternity of waiting. Finally I was going to see the band that has more or less shaped my childhood - Madness. All that was on my mind was hearing those opening words of Chas thundering throughout The Point Theatre, “Hey You, Don’t watch that, watch this…’’

"The support band (to which I do not know the name) came on stage at exactly 8pm. They consisted of four men, a lead vocalist, two guitar players and some other guy playing a ukulele. Usually I’m not a big fan of support acts but they certainly did make the time pass quicker, including in their set John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero” and Irish favourite “Dirty Old Town.”
So after about a half an hour they finished and I congratulate them on getting a decent response out of the crowd. It wasn’t long now… and after about another 15 minutes of waiting a few lights went out, the crowd starting singing, calling the name and sure enough, at around 9pm they appeared on stage with a massive screen behind them. I was in awe watching them, I mean here were my heroes, and my moment had arrived.

Read Patrick Murphy's full reveiw in this Sunday's MIS issue 398 email.

Dublin Setlist: One Step Beyond, My Girl, Embarrassment, Lovestruck, Taller than You Are, The Sun and the Rain, On the Beat Pete, The Prince, Los Palmas 7, Shut Up, House of Fun, Iron Shirt, Girl, Grey Day, NW5, Bed & Breakfast Man, Baggy Trousers, Wings of a Dove, Our House, It Must be Love, Sorry, Madness, Night Boat to Cairo, Swan Lake, Pig Bag.

Thommo in Aggro

Lee Thompson joined the Aggrolites on stage for pretty much their entire set, supporting Intensified.

At the Underworld Venue in Camden town tonight (Friday 15th). Lee Hookway and Duff Kelly Report.

The band wearing white suits covered in spray paint slogans played an intense set in the small basement venue.

Starting with Mr Misery the track that Chrissy Boy currently has on his Myspace page, and then about two numbers in, Lee Thompson dressed in a tommy Cooper T-shirt and wearing a cap joined them to much applause. He stayed and played most of the set with them, playing tracks off their 2 studio albums, and was ocassionally to be heard shouting into the mike.

At one point between songs, Lead singer Jesse Wagner said to the crowd "How about this one for Kix... and began to sing on his own the chorus to "Our House" which the crowd then joined in on.

Things continued at a fast pace and the band were joined by more guests and a couple of members of Intensified for a cover of "Moonstomping" which ended the night with a stage
invasion from a few Skinheads and eventually Duff joined them on stage too.

Speaking to the band after the show Duff asked are they enjoying supporting Madness on tour so far. They replied that they were and that at the last couple of shows they had some people singing along to their songs.

Pictures to be added to the MIS site at some point soon.

MADNESS @ MEN With Manchester Interview

The Wayfinder had a great night at the Manchester gig, full reivew from him in MIS on Sunday, along with a longer version of the below Suggs interveiw from Manchester News.

"Just got in... Was a big queue for CD's, they have told me they check the records and If I don't collect it they post it on. Well, the MEN was full- standing- all lower tiers, and 5 upper tiers open- so this was the biggest indoor Madness Manchester gig ever (approx 13,000) if I was them I would be sh*tting myself going on. I managed to blag my way to the sound desk side, but I couldn't see the screen. I went to another prime spot and sat down."

"I loved Mr.Dammer's 'Wheel's of Steel' (Suggs says he was sponsored by Sterident! - LOL!)
I can sum up his spot on my next line Jean Michael Jarre meets Ska. Of I course I loved it,"
"The Aggrolites where on top form. A very energetic visual band."

"Madness set was very much like the Glasgow gig, just the songs re-arranged.
Top night. They played well. my head hurts and my ears are buzzing!"

Simon

-----------------
SUGGS IS STILL MAD FOR IT
Could he ever envisage living anywhere but London?

"Some days I do. On a good day, people smile at you in the street. But then on a bad day, someone tells you to eff off and you think, 'What am I doing here?'" muses Suggs. "The great thing about living in a big city is that you meet every walk of life. Unfortunately the bad side is that somebody out there has less than you have and wants what you've got, and you'll bump into them one day."

Has that day come yet?

"Not so's you'd notice," says Suggs. "I came across a bunch of kids, and they were a bit off out-of-it. I got them all doing the hokey cokey on the forecourt of a garage, which was quite surreal."

"We made a film in 1980, and I looked at it recently. Camden was nothing but blokes falling out of pubs and a couple of Morris Minors," says Suggs. "The only food you could get was a ham or cheese sandwich out of one of those perspex things they used to have on the bars of pubs or the caff. I can remember a friend of my mum's having a pie-eating competition in a pie and mash shop. Perhaps there was less to do in those days. Of course London's changed, like Manchester's changed, a lot of it for the better, and a lot of it for the worse in terms of the homogenisation of every high street."

The band are half-way through recording a new album in the defiantly old-tech Toe Rag studio in Hackney.

"We wanted to go somewhere like where we started out to get that spontaneous energy without all the technology," says Suggs. "It's an exciting time for the band. We haven't done so much playing together for maybe ten years."

The crowds at Madness's upcoming UK dates will surely be up for a barmy singalong.

"People who come to our concerts do tend to know all the words," says Suggs. " It's interesting going round Europe and Japan. You get different reactions and expectations. A crowd in Japan is slightly different from a Glaswegian or a Mancunian audience."

Following yesterday's announcement regarding the second encore of the Brixton gig being sadly absent from the live CD album, ConcertLive representative, Andy Knight has been back in touch, with the following:
We will look into making the missing tracks available for download but I'm not sure this will be possible. Please be aware that anyone ordering the CD for postage from the website will receive the full concert as we have produced new masters with the missing tracks on.


Meanwhile, fellow ConcertLive rep Adam Goodyer contacted the Madness Trading Ring with the following explanation:

I just wanted to get in touch directly to see if there's anything we can do to answer queries concerning any of the Madness live CDs over the tour.

In particular regarding the Brixton gig and the missing tracks - unfortunately this was totally out of our control. We always push to get a set list before the gig however this wasn't available at Brixton. We only missed the last 2 tracks (second encore not the first) and have a master DAT that has all of the gig.

If anyone wants to swap the disk 2 they picked up at the concert for a full version, we will be happy to do this. All people who ordered for postage will get the full version anyway.

In terms of set lists in general, as you've seen from above, these aren't available to us in advance. In terms of distinguishing future gigs, each CD cover is different for each gig.

If you want us to post anything up on the forum with an explanation and letting people know that if they got one on the night and want to change it they can.


MTR co-maintainer has been back in touch with ConcertLive in an effort to find out what fans need to do should they wish to return their 2nd CD and obtain the complete concert recording.

We at MIS think that ConcertLive must be applauded for their efforts in not only offering to rectify the slight niggle, but also for being so open with the fans. Impressive customer service!

(A big thank you to the MTR for portions of the above)

Second Brixton Encore Missing From Live CDs


Those of you who purchased the recent live CD album of the Brixton concert will no doubt be aware that the second encore was sadly missing from the compilation.

Initially, we at MIS Online assumed the missing tracks were due to either space (on the CD) or time issues, but it seems that neither were to blame.

Here's Andy Knight of Concert Live;

At the Brixton concert we did miss the 2nd encore from the recording, but this was beyond our contol. As we were not given a track listing, after 4 minutes of the band being off stage in order not to disappoint the large number of fans who were already waiting for their CDs our tour manager made the call to start recording the CDs.

For all future concerts we have insisted that we are provided with a full set list so that we do not miss any tracks.


Our thanks go to Andy for taking the time to explain what exactly went on, and to MIS subscriber Michael Gleeson for keeping us informed.

Perhaps the missing tracks (if they are available) could be made available for download for those who purchased the live album.

If we hear of any further developments we will of course let you know.

Suggs Get's Virgin Afternoon show.

Suggs takes mike for radio show

Madness frontman Suggs is to become a full-time DJ after landing his own primetime radio show.

The 45-year-old has been given a two-hour afternoon slot on Virgin radio after proving a hit with listeners.


Suggs, real name Graham McPherson, will continue to host his popular Saturday night programme. He takes over from Neil Francis, who has been doing the afternoon show for three years and stays at the station as a cover DJ.

Virgin Radio programme director Paul Jackson said: "Having a national treasure like Suggs as a daytime DJ is a massive coup for Virgin Radio.

"Suggs has proved to be one of the most popular DJs on UK radio and our listeners simply can't get enough of him." (from bbc.co.uk news)

Chrissy Boy Back For Christmas!




The rumours have been true.

Chrissy Boy is to return. Several weeks negotiations between the 6 working members of the band and the semi retired curmudgeon guitarist finally ended after a few ungentlemanly scenes of begging and pleading. The band have now agreed to let him accompany them on the forthcoming UK Christmas tour.

He will make his return on the 7th of December at the Brixton Academy show. At the stroke of Midnight on the 20th December 2006 he will head back to the bright lights of Brighton and turn back into a Bumpkin.

He would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Kevin Burdett for stepping in so ably as his replacement for the past 2 and a bit years. The guitar has never been played so accurately and Foreman knows he will have a hard job keeping up the great standards Kevin has adhered to.

This sudden and dramatic turn of events does not affect your statutory rights. Tickets can be refunded at the usual outlets.

Exclusive footage of the exciting first day's rehearsal can be found at:

Info from Madness.co.uk

2 Videos for German Film "Neues Vom Wixxer"

The recent video shoot in London was for a German film.
In 2004 a German film called "Der Wixxer", which was a German comedy parody film about two bumbling detectives, featured on the soundtrack "Right Said fred" covering "The Wizzard" with Doris Dubinsky. In March 2007 in Germany is "Neues Vom Wixxer" a sequel to that movie.

Der Wixxer meaning "The Wizzard" and Nues Vom Wixxer meaning "New From The Wizzard."

One of the stars Oliver Kalkofe at the Euro Madness gigs this year spoke to the band and the 2 videos the band had filmed were a project overseen by him and his comedy partner in the film.

One is described as a retake on It Must Be Love. And most interestingly is the 2nd a new song called NW5. NW5 of course being the London post code for Kentish Town.
