Madness v The Specials featuring Special Kind of Madness

Special Kinda Madness will be performing a set of Madness’s classic songs as well as a set of The Specials’ best hits in this great night of ska and two tone.

“Back in 1979, pop was getting dull again. Everyone said it was time for a new dance.
No-one expected it to come from Coventry. The 2-Tone revolution, led by the Specials, took the pop world by surprise with their infectious mix of Ska rhythms and punk attitude.

Madness … followed close on their heels. Within a matter of months the 2-Tone bands had stolen our hearts and conquered the charts with a non-stop procession of unforgettable hits: ‘Gangsters’, ‘A Message to you Rudy’, ‘Too Much Too Young’, ‘The Prince’, ‘One Step Beyond’, ‘My Girl’ …” – An extract from Dance Craze by Garry Bushell

Special Kinda Madness play a truly authentic set from each band, matching the incredible energy of The Specials with the unforgettable iconic songs of Madness. Producing a show that will have the audience up and dancing from the start, Special Kinda Madness will have everyone hankering back to those exciting days of 2-Tone and Ska.
