Hiya Jenny,

I've got that video & you're right, it's got some amazing footage of
Madness - especially the pub interviews & the dancing ! & there's also a bit
of philosophy from Woody when he quotes "If we knew what was going to happen
tomorrow, we'd give up today"....class !!

I think the guy dancing with Chas could be either Chalky or Toks (not 100%
sure though).

Also the video was shot between December 1979 & January 1980 & was
originally released in 1980 called "British Rock" (that's what it says on
the box anyway !!!).

Hope this helps a wee bit ;-)

cheers the noo.............................Rob W

ps - for information for those who haven't seen it;

Madness perform The Prince, Swan Lake & My Girl with the pub interviews
between.
There's also performances from some of the punk, mod, new wave & ska bands
from that time....including Specials, Selecter & one close to our
hearts..............Ian Dury & the blockheads, performing Sweet Gene Vincent
& Hit me with your Rhythm Stick......but one bit that puzzles me is the
inclusion of The Kinks.......they were a pre-punk band (a good band yes, but
still............)........all in all an excellent video & would be a worth
while addition to your collection.

cheers the noo............................RobW
