You know much as I hate to say it.

I went to their last gig at the point ( as was ).

To be frank they were cr*p

I think they were locked to be honest

I was really disappointed

Swore then I would never darken the doors of one of their gigs again

Shame , seen them loads of times before then , always good

Anyway enjoy !!!

was this the one around 6/7 years ago? i was at that myself and id have to agree with you, very disappointing gig.

still though judging by their recent form and the liberty of norton folgate album i reckon this will be a cracker. and jerry dammers dj'ing at it too i hear...cant wait for this!

Aye but they were good at the Tripod in 2008. Ddn't get to EP this year unfortunately.
Don't like the O2 at all but like them. Hopefully it'll be a good night.
Hope you're all set to do the nutty dance

Hard Larry

Was there last night, was a good gig.

They played some new stuff (which I liked) and a good range of the old classics

Dammers played a good few tunes and sticking on the Take it or Leave it mash up was a nice touch.

Love the gig or hate it but its one of those rare occassions in life were its socially acceptable for 20 stone Skinheads to hug each other and wear a fez.

Gig was enjoyable, the new stuff worked well, Norton Folgate is a really strong album. Someone should show Dammers how to operate a couple of decks though....

Great gig was my first time seeing them and they were great and there was a great atmosphere . Pity i had to leave just before the encore but had to hop on the luas to get a bus

Not a fan back in the day, but I obviously know all the "hits". I made a late decision to go and I was glad I did. Great live sound and loads of crowd pleasing songs. I do like the new album and the songs they played from it sounded very good live, too. A late "honourable mention" in the gig of the year list.

I was at the gig and have to say i thought they were fantastic,,,they sounded better than they ever did.
Plus it was great to see people of all ages there.
There was a real good feeling in the crowd too,,,hope they come back soon!

Taz86

Fantastic gig. It was just fantastic to see everyone dancing especially with that succession of 'hits' towards the end. Great to see a crowd really enjoy themselves. Madness sounded and looked brilliant.
Loved the "You're still here? ... we've got homes to go to" just before 'Madness'
