House of Common.

House of Common (2019).

I've seen Madness loads of times since the 90s. When it comes to guaranteed top-class, no-skips, great gigs, they're up there with the best.

This was back to Clapham Common for their fortieth anniversary year, two years after the first one, with Jimmy Cliff, Ziggy Marley, Horace Andy and Akala all on the bill.

The big one for me was Jimmy Cliff. To be able to say I saw Jimmy Cliff sing Many Rivers to Cross live is a huge moment, up there with seeing James Brown in 2006.

In the Madness encore Paul Weller came out for Shop Around and Heat Wave, and the Kingdom Choir joined them for Wings of a Dove.
