Tour Madness January 8th 1986 - LONDON: RADIO: Janice Long
Barely recovered from the New Year's Eve celebrations, Suggs is interviewed by BBC DJ Janice Long who was one of the guests at the band's party at Clive Langer's studio. Suggs regrets that he yet hasn't seen the TV broadcast of the New Year's Eve show and talks about the Madness dummies that will appear in the soon to be filmed video for The Sweetest Girl (recent plaster modelling left Suggs with a bruised nose), set for release ten days later. Other subjects of discussion are the pros and cons of being in the music business, the reason why Madness signed to Stiff, the nutty side of The Specials, and his huge record collection. Martin Aberdeen of ska band The Potato Five joins in the conversation and performs an unaccompanied call and response snippet of The Prince with Suggs before airing a demo recording of his own band's instrumental "Asleep", undeniably influenced by Prince Buster's version of Madness. Suggs, obviously no stranger to The Potato Five's efforts, tells that two years before, he and Jerry Dammers were having play thoughts of staging a Motown Revue style event featuring (ex) 2 Tone artists. As for the current live scene he regrets the lack of impressive acts, apart from Irish group Microdisney and The Farm, a band from Liverpool with whom Suggs recently spent time at the Liquidator Studios (In the early Nineties he works with them as their manager/producer). Rounding off the programme, Suggs requests "Kilburn & The High Roads" "Huffety Puff" while admitting that Madness at first didn't want to play it with Ian Dury at the Christmas Party because the good man did likewise at his late Seventies shows (which they attended) by making up excuses not to perform it. "A profitable new year".
