Black Rabbit Productions Presents
Madness vs The Specials – Featuring: Special Kinda Madness.
Special Kinda Madness will be performing a set of classic Madness songs as well as a set of The Specials best hits in this great night of ska and two-tone.
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’, and more.
An extract from Dance Craze by Garry Bushell:
On 21st July 1979 at the Electric Ballroom in London, The Specials played a gig with Madness, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, and The Selecter. That’s a gig that all 2-Tone rude boys and rude girls would die to see, and thought would never happen. The Specials and Madness on the same bill!
In truth, it will probably never happen now…but you can get the next best thing! Producing a show that will have the audience up and dancing from the start, Special Kinda Madness will have everyone hankering for those exciting days of 2-Tone and Ska.
