That Mrs Barson, I wonder if she has any idea what a massive wealth of gratitude the world owes her.

Maybe a documentary could be made from something like this, a view from family and friends on madness from childhood to the present day, perhaps?

This is a view of Madness you don't see much of. Often we forget that the bands we love have families and friends and private lives. They don't live all their lives on stage. It's great that Woody's and Mike's moms are and have been so supportive of Madness and like their music so much.

Songs that my little boy made. That is so adorable. Mikes mum is really well spoken and Mike looks a lot like his mum. I read that Pat Barson is an artist/ex teacher and she studied at Central St Martins which is really prestigious, obviously talent and artistic flair runs through Pats side.

Woody's mum: "No..., he wasn't as naughty as a couple of others in the band!" (i.e. Thommo, Thommo and Thommo) 😁

Awwww....Mum's are the best. Makes me miss my mum!!

'They've got their feet on the ground, those kids. Young men. Middle aged men. Those men. Blokes.' I LOVE Pat!

I like mikes mum Pat, Very funny lady.

Like the way she already has the album on vinyl behind her!

Madness always makes me HAPPY!

So sweet!! xx

Fantastic, Thanks for posting :)

Not many mums refer to their children by their nicknames, I thought Mrs Woodgate would have referred to him as Danial.

brilliant
