  • Here's a video of Madness performing 'Never Knew Your Name', live in Trafalgar Square at the end of 2011. It was recorded as part of an observational quiz round for the BBC TV show 'Britain's Brightest' that I directed several VT inserts for (including this one). This is a re-edited extended (full) version of the clip that appeared on the show,

    Losing Terry makes me appreciate who we have left from that special time in the late 70s, and early 80s. This is also a great song. Love from Boston USA

    This is a great and very underrated tune. Real people singing about real people. Ian Dury was also classic in doing this. This song and video, as an Englishman living in Finland, really makes me miss my home country. Especially as Covid has prevented me from getting back there to see friends and family. However much it upsets me, at least it makes me feel 🇬🇧🇫🇮

I just love the British music

      Unfortunately, our "selections" for elections are no better and sometimes worse than other nations... but we remain positively gifted at heckling and protesting the political classes who's contributions to inspiring our musicians and songwriters cannot be completely ignored. Would the Brit Punk world have been so powerful and potent were it not for all the songs of protest inspired by Maggie Thatcher the milk snatcher? The clash, Joe strummer, strummer fest etc were HUUUGE culturally, socially and politically and when the iron lady finally popped off this mortal coil, there were still public service announcements urging the public not to hurl bottles of milk at her procession. Nobody showed up for her bollocks state funeral... everybody partied at the pub singing the strummer fest classic "We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies... Even though we know it's not right... We will dance and sing all night..." The British Broadcasting Corporation were also compelled to ban "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" so that they could circumvent playing that #1 hit anywhere... #Britainsrevenge #rustinpiecesironlady

I can say that since that time until now they are and will be the best ska band of UK and of the world. The only dream that I always wanted was have been in one concert of them.

    The duality of the Line "Will I ever see you again, I wonder" stands out to based on the age of the bandmembers,
    many of those who made up the audience might not get a second chance to see them live and in person, be it because of their age or lack thereof.
