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! In truth, it will probably never happen now … but you can get the next best thing with Special Kinda Madness! “This has to go down as one of the best nights out I’ve had! Thanks guys.. you’re brilliant!!” – Samantha Hill “Saw this band for the first time in St.Albans on Saturday. I’ve been to many concerts/tribute tours in my time and this was by far and away the best concert ever. Absolutely brilliant!” – Brett Miller 2 Bands … 2-Tone … 1 Fantastic Night! More bands to be added Street food, djs & beer garden

The Bohemians

Queen’s Greatest Hits with The Bohemians Don’t Stop us Now-and there's certainly no stopping this comprehensive re-enactment of Queens greatest hits! One of the UK’s longest running and Internationally renowned Queen Tribute band, The Bohemians, take you on ahigh-energy roller-coaster ride of a concert, featuring the music, costumes, and show man ship of one of the world’s most popular and iconic rock acts of all time, Queen. Billed as ‘The World’s most exciting Queen Tribute’ The Bohemians start proceedings as they mean to continue. Right from the beginning you will be gripped by a bombastic, authentic audio visual representation of Queen’s iconic Wembley ‘86 performance as the Bohemians burst onto the stage to the strains of One Vision and A Kind of Magic. So many fabulous hits to be covered but they’re all here, from the early piano and harmony heavy wonders of Killer Queen and Don’t Stop Me Now, to the later, catchy pop anthems of the eighties. The second hour concentrates on the later hits and once again there is an array of brilliance to embrace. The stunning, Breakthru provides both the introduction and the costume presentation for this part of the set which includes a new feature of the Bohemians stage show, a slick rendering of classics from the late eighties and early nineties era. I Want it all, The Show must go on and the haunting, Days of our Lives are just some of those featured. The set then pay tribute to the sights and sounds of the famous Live Aid...
