[total-madness] MADNESS IN HOLLAND

[Claden]

Good evening to everybody on the list.   I've joint the list a few months ago and really enjoy reading all the latest news on the Maddest band on earth. I'm a big fan since the early days of 1980 and have been to to many concerts over the last 20 ( Oh my god I'm getting Old ) years. Now Friday evening I was watching a Dutch television show called Paul the Leeuw and I almost fell out of my chair when Madness entered the studio and played Lovestruck live. It's the first time in many years I've seen them perform on a Dutch television show. The only one missing was Carl, the rest of the band were all there. There was no interview afterwards and they just left. Now from the past I know that they might be in Holland to do a tryout for the tour starting next week. I remember they did so before the first Madstock concert in 1992, when they played at the Paard in Den Haag a few days earlier. I'm still sick of travelling to London a day to soon because I also could have seen the boys in Holland before the big one at Finsbury. I've tried to find out if there was a tryout somewhere today but noone at the main concerthalls knew anything about Madness doing a show. If I find out if they did do a tryout overhere I will mail it to the list.   just five more days to Brighton allready packing my suitcase   CLADEN
