SPECIAL KINDA MADNESS at Bedford Esquires (Ages 14+)
Saturday 30 November 2024
Time: 19:30 - 23:00 Price: ยฃ16.50
๐ค Special Kinda Madness (2-tone/Ska music) are back at Bedford Esquires on Sat 30th November for their annual gig with their classic take on Madness and The Specials.
โญ๏ธHere'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 โNutty Boysโ. 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.
โญ๏ธPREVIOUS
On 21st July 1979 at the Electric Ballroom in London, the Specials played a gig with Madness, Dexyโs Midnight Runners and Selecter. Thatโs 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 โฆ but you can get the next best thing with Special Kinda Madness! 2 Bands โฆ 2-Tone โฆ 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.
โน๏ธ AGE INFORMATION
14+ only. 14s to 16s must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds will be given for incorrectly booked tickets.
โญ๏ธHere'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 โNutty Boysโ. 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.

๐ Women for women Support Group - Bedford
Saturday 30 November 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:30
๐จ EVENT CANCELLED ๐จ
๐ณ A friendly gathering/walk organised to create a welcoming and supportive space for women, to walk (or sit) and talk (or not) on Saturdays in Bedford. All welcome.
๐ซถ WOMEN COMING TOGETHER
We all need a community around us, people we can share moments and experiences with, among whom we find support and understanding. Starting mid-September this will be a regular weekly meet-up (outdoors or indoors - if the right place is found), fostering a safe environment and deeper connections that develop over time.
WHAT IS THIS GROUP INTENDED FOR?
Women for Women is intended as a space where everyone can find their people, their tribe and have that sense of belonging that is more difficult to achieve in the modern world, outside of your closest family circle (if that is the case). We are all different, bringing our uniqueness to the people around us and the community. Let's celebrate and cherish that, learn from each other and be for one another in this space.
๐บ I WOULD LOVE TO BE APART OF THIS - WHERE DO WE MEET?
We meet at Bedford Band Stand in the park - click the address location link above and it will show you.
