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
