    I've met Suggs twice. The first time was in 1980 after a gig in Bradford St Georges Hall ,the Madness roadies smuggled us in to the gig as we had no tickets...they filmed us dancing with The Gogos for 'Dance craze'. In 2005 I was sat with a mate in a quiet pub in Soho looking through some old LPs we'd just bought and this bloke leaned over and said 'I had that ....and that !' We got chatting and had a few guinness together.....it was Suggs, he has to be one of the most relaxed easy going people i've ever met.

    The man is an inspiration and great role model to every boy on earth. You can have a troubled upbringing, you have a checkered past, you can have a misspent, directionless youth. All you have to do is find what you're good at, what you love, and make one straight turn. Then just do the right things and be a decent human being. Suggs genuine personality makes him brilliant at most things he does. He wears his heart on his sleeve, even though he seems so cool. It's what keeps him humble and so nice to people. His one man show is amazing and is a can't miss fun time. Suggs is the world's favorite Englishmen, in every sense of the word. To me, someone from overseas, he defines the best and what we love about England and the English.

    What a great small intimate interview. As a fan and having followed them from the start I felt every word he said. Top man is Suggs. They say never meet your hero’s because there’s a chance they aren’t what they seem. I’d be disappointed if Suggs wasn’t a top geezer.

    Lovely bloke, met him in a doorway next to Hammersmith Odeon and got chatting, we were both waiting to see Roger McGuinn and I was surprised that was his taste, then a doorman came and whisked him off, leaving me there 😆

    Christmas 83 tour, Southampton Gaumont, Madness let me through the window of there dressing room. They were all so just like me. (Obviously). Years later 2002-3 meet Suggs on Frith St, Soho were I was working at the time. He'd done a voice over for something. Had a quick chat. Lovely man. Thanks for making my teenager years more fun.

    A couple of girls I met on the beach in NZ (Riversdale) introduced me to Madness in '80 or '81 and it was such an engaging sort of music. I don't listen to any particular music all the time but when I come back to it, it's like an old friend. Our House, It Must be Love, Night Boat, etc. Great fun. Thanks Madness for all that work you guys put in - a lot of enjoyment we all got out of it.

    Graham your such an inspiration, life would have been pretty boring without Madness. We had a subculture in Brisbane back in the early 80's, nothing like what was generating in the UK, still so glad to part of it, you guy's visited twice back then, an indelible tattoo on my brain " The nuttiest sound around "

      This just popped onto my timeline as I was watching George Michael songs, beautifully filmed interview, I Love seeing people who make it in life in whichever path they choose, so many have a mundane existence, perhaps they are ok with that I suppose. Being wise like this at such a young age is commendable. Even shed a tear at the end listening to his happiness at what they had achieved ❤
