SPECIAL KINDA MADNESS at Bedford Esquires (Ages 14+)
Time: 19:30 - 23:00 Price: £16.50
⭐️Here's the lowdown;
SPECIAL KINDA MADNESS perform a truly authentic set from each band, combining the phenomenally energetic stage presence of The Specials with the wonderful iconic tunes of the Madness ‘Nutty Boys’. Playing a set from each band and producing a show that will have the audience up and dancing from the off, Special Kinda Madness will have everyone hankering after that exciting era of 2-Tone and ska.
⭐️PREVIOUS
On 21st July 1979 at the Electric Ballroom in London, the Specials played a gig with Madness, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and 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! We know it will never happen now … but you can get the next best thing with Special Kinda Madness! 2 Bands … 2-Tone … 1 Fantastic Night!
NO SUPPORT GROUP
There is no support on the night as the band play 2 sets with the running order of Specials or Madness to be decided on the night.
ℹ️ AGE INFORMATION
14+ only. 14s to 16s must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds will be given for incorrectly booked tickets.
