About this Event
A stunning venue in which to see one of the UK's premier Madness tributes.
Badness
"Badness" formed in July 1994 and quickly became one of the top Madness tribute bands and ska/two-tone revival bands in the country.
The six piece group, of course featuring the iconic trumpet and saxophone, deliver an energetic show with a frontman who never fails to whip the audience into shape. Playing classic Madness, Bad Manners and The Specials, Badness have undertaken overseas tours of Israel, Germany and Spain amongst others, and have played every town and city in the UK (well almost!), building up a cult following and regularly selling out venues across the country.
The Stage says: “There aren’t many tribute bands better than Badness. Their lead Suggs is perfect and the whole band musically tight, loud and all great musicians. They do ska, Bad Manners et al too, as well as the nutty boys, so have an extensive range of material they can call on. Whatever they choose to perform is fine by me - they’re fantastic and a benchmark to other tributes.” - Stage Magazine
