Hiya madsters !
I, unfortunately (& as some of you already
know), won't be able to get to the Ian Dury day on the 16th as I will be on
holiday in Magaluf at the time - I was absolutely gutted when I heard that it
was to be on the 16th - I was hoping for earlier !
Anyway all I can say to all of you who are going is
- I hope that you all have one hell of a day (i'm sure you will !). Also, to
those who are going & haven't been to a Madmeet before & are
maybe having doubts about meeting up, I have to say - GO FOR IT !!! I can
highly recommend it ! - I attended my first Madmeet at the December gig in
Newcastle (organised by this list BTW) & it was one of the best things I
have ever done - it turned out to be one of the best days of my life ! & it
also introduced me to some people (you know who you are !) who I now consider to
be good friends as we have kept in touch through the list, on ICQ & on the
Monday night MADCHAT - & I now feel like I have known them for
years.
One of the best things about it for me was
that I had finally met people who feel the same way about the band as
me & it was good to share the experience of a Madness gig with people who
really appreciate it.
Since that day in Newcastle I have attended a
further 2 Madmeets - the now infamous McMadmeets 1 (Vote for Fred Campaign -
Glasgow) & 2 (Easter Piss Up - again Glasgow). - again these were absolutely
brilliant days, the first was just the Scottish Maddies where we littered
Glasgow with Vote for Fred fliers & posters & for the second, some
Maddies from "Down South" joined us & we went on a pub crawl
& got blootered (natch ! :o))
Reviews for all of the above Madmeets can be viewed
on Mr G's website at ;
......so have a look - the photos are there too -
you won't be disappointed !
(I know Mr G will be happy about the "plug"
:o))
Before I go I have to say that I know that TMML has
been getting a lot of stick over the last few days 'cos of all the non topic
stuff (& that's now hopefully been sorted ), but this list has opened a
whole new world for me & I can only praise it for that - so let's keep it
relevant eh & long may it continue !!!
Anyway, they say every cloud has a silver lining -
well hot on the heels of my disappointment at not making the 16th comes the news
that there will definitely be a UK tour in December - now that I will be
attending for definite !!!
...oh am I mumbling on.....................cheers
the noo....Rob W
