Trivia

  • At the band's first Madstock concert, an earth tremor was recorded of over 4 on the Richter scale as the fans danced to the opening of the song 'One Step Beyond'.
  • Madness spent more weeks in the U.K. chart than any other band in the 1980's.
  • He took his nickname of 'Suggs' from a jazz flautist named Pete Suggs
  • In the early nineties he produced The Farm's no 1 U.K single 'All together now'.
  • DJ on the UK's Virgin Radio station. His show is in the early afternoon and he calls it the Afternoon Tea show.

Quotes

  • [on the "Our House" musical] We'd got a great writer, Tim Firth. He didn't want it to be a biographical thing about Madness, but it tells of being in borstal, as Lee was, and split families, which most of us came from. It was a hit, but we spent too much on the sodding production. And there's nothing more cheery than passing the Queen musical, and seeing it on for its 12th fucking successful year.
