Another excellent Blue Beat DC last night with @thefussdc.bsky.social - it was great to team up with Tribe I-Ninety Five and surprise hang with John McCahey too! Late night on a Thursday, but what a blast.

Madness, as we know them today, performed their first gig on January 1st, 1979 at the London Film-Makers Co-Op (supporting The Nips (Shane McGowan’s punk band) & The Millwall Chainsaws. Due to the frosty weather, only three people turn up.
