Bedford's Make Friends & Be Social Meetup

Annual Lights Switch On

SPECIAL KINDA MADNESS!
7:30pm, Sat 30th November, Bedford Esquires

Special Kinda Madness are back at Bedford Esquires on Sat 30th November for their annual gig with their classic take on Madness and The Specials.

Here’s the lowdown; SPECIAL KINDA MADNESS perform a truly authentic set from each band, combining the phenomenally energetic stage presence of The Specials with the wonderful iconic tunes of the Madness ‘Nutty Boys’. Playing a set from each band and producing a show that will have the audience up and dancing from the off, Special Kinda Madness will have everyone hankering after that exciting era of 2-Tone and ska.

On 21st July 1979 at the Electric Ballroom in London, the Specials played a gig with Madness, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and Selecter. That’s a gig that all 2-Tone rude boys and rude girls would die to see, and thought would never happen. The Specials and Madness on the same bill!
We know it will never happen now … but you can get the next best thing with Special Kinda Madness!

2 Bands … 2-Tone … 1 Fantastic Night!

There is no support on the night as the band play 2 sets with the running order of Specials or Madness to be decided on the night. Doors open at 8pm with the band taking to the stage for their first set around 8.30pm.

Tickets priced £15 are on sale from Seetickets now and available from the local outlets of Esquires Bar and Slide Record Shop.
