Hello all!
Let's face it, the best chance Madness have got of a hit now would be be to
release a single either the week after Christmas or in the first week of
January - this is traditionally when singles' sales are slow, and would
enhance the chances of getting a bigger hit.
We have to face the fact that 50% of folk who go to Madness gigs just aren't
interested in the new material, and probably don't know that the album is
out! At the concerts in December, most folk will want to hear the hits, and
maybe a couple of new songs at most.
I do love DFF, but to have agree that it simply would not get played on
radio. Something like "Saturday Night" has more chance of airplay.
I agree with Vince about the cancelled gig - what a joke!
