Tour Madness  August 20th and 21st 1979 - LONDON: Hope and Anchor
Attendance: 400 - sellout

Carl does not take part in the band's two night stint at the Hope & Anchor; he sends his best wishes. Madness are aware that they're growing too big for the London pub and club circuit as Suggs explains to Robbi Millar of Sounds: "Over the last few months the audiences got bigger and bigger and now they're turning people away from places like the Hope because there's not enough room. We play dance music but there's never enough space to dance to it in". Millar reckons that the show is "so humid that even the walls are sweating, and a heat haze is hanging over the seven incredibly energetic performers An odd mixed bunch, the audience; punks, students, Mods and skinheads, and they're all dancing in spite of the risk of annihilation by evaporation. Not surprising though, because this is the purest form of dance Music I've heard in many a long gigging session."
