I've met Suggs twice. The first time was in 1980 after a gig in Bradford St Georges Hall ,the Madness roadies smuggled us in to the gig as we had no tickets...they filmed us dancing with The Gogos for 'Dance craze'. In 2005 I was sat with a mate in a quiet pub in Soho looking through some old LPs we'd just bought and this bloke leaned over and said 'I had that ....and that !' We got chatting and had a few guinness together.....it was Suggs, he has to be one of the most relaxed easy going people i've ever met.

Anyone else able to listen to this Man talking all day or is it just me? :-)

Im 50 Now and love Madness and Suggs since 1980

A very humble bloke.... I think of Madness as a National Treasure Well done lads My first single Baggy Trousers

you're a diamond Suggs.

He seems very sincere.

Suggs: you are an Amazing Man, Role model for all future young Artists. And a Must for them to watch this clip. Well Done.xx

great interview....I spent a lot of my youth dancing to madness!!!....great band!!great times...madness were a magic band!!!

7 Legends, thanks for the Fun, the Laughter and the Memories

Just a top bloke in every way.

Suggs, you're an absolutely inspiration to us all. Thank you sir!

Una biopic de Madness, lo merecen

My favourite band when I was 16 and still are now iam 60 long live Madness North London and Englands finest

The man is an inspiration and great role model to every boy on earth. You can have a troubled upbringing, you have a checkered past, you can have a misspent, directionless youth. All you have to do is find what you're good at, what you love, and make one straight turn. Then just do the right things and be a decent human being. Suggs genuine personality makes him brilliant at most things he does. He wears his heart on his sleeve, even though he seems so cool. It's what keeps him humble and so nice to people. His one man show is amazing and is a can't miss fun time. Suggs is the world's favorite Englishmen, in every sense of the word. To me, someone from overseas, he defines the best and what we love about England and the English.

That's a funny story about asking what happened to the old singer. 'Had to let him go - had an attitude problem.'

J'aime cet homme , un oeil et un talent rares, une personnalité, un artiste, il n'est pas comme les autres, il aime le foot ball, la vie, les Amis Love Philippe

best band ever, pure joy!

Your a joy to listen to suggs. Never change the real man u r. 💯

What a great small intimate interview. As a fan and having followed them from the start I felt every word he said. Top man is Suggs. They say never meet your hero’s because there’s a chance they aren’t what they seem. I’d be disappointed if Suggs wasn’t a top geezer.

Top bloke is Suggs

Your still great Suggs, after all those years ;-)

😊❤

Top bloke..I like the unique nutty sound of madness.

That's really nice and natural. Well done brother 👍🇬🇧

Love gorgeous suggs xx

Love u lord

this was awesome!

Very well done. :)

Graham your such an inspiration, life would have been pretty boring without Madness. We had a subculture in Brisbane back in the early 80's, nothing like what was generating in the UK, still so glad to part of it, you guy's visited twice back then, an indelible tattoo on my brain " The nuttiest sound around "

nicely done

Nice film, captures a side of the character I hadn't seen before

who in their right mind would chase MADNESS out of Anywhere??

Cool guy

I enjoyed all the madness music I grew up with Madness UB40 in the number of overs also it was a fantastic time they're not in the 70s and 80s the best times I was born in the 60s but I remember the 70s and 80s better than I do the 60s lovely jubbly Suggs and the rest of the band I enjoyed your music very much and still do God bless you

Respect.

I was into Madness at school....I’m an old man now,I hear my girl and I’m a kid again.

Nice fella.

when is mike barson the genius gunna write an autobiography?????....such a good leader, his attitude wos brilliant.

brilliant visually, horrific dialogue cuts.

SUGGS...

it's so funny to hear entertainers....."we got tired of working"....other people strive forever to achieve a career that will put food on the table but not make anywhere near as much money as something like MADNESS.....and they CANT just Quit....

Follow

I always thought suggs was madness.. Sorry I was wrong... It was more than..him...

suggsy may not be the force he once wos......it dus not matter!!!!!!.......we have his voice on c.D's, tape, vinyl etc singing some of the most magical songs ever invented!!!!..god bless suggsy!!!!!

xxxx

I talked to you 5 9 99

What is SKA without Madness.

madness are to London, wot the Beatles are to Liverpool...that's my opinion anyway.

suggsy wos a brilliant front man......a lot of charisma!!!....baggy trousers is not an easy song to sing!!!.....its so fast.. don't know how he done it!!!lol..fair play!!!!!...only suggsy can sing that song!!!..only john Lennon can sing imagine!!!!....unique!!!...no-one can sing that song better. people have sung Paul McCartney songs well!!!!!....who can sing imagine as well as john Lennon??...answer!!!..nobody!!!!!

What's with the poignant wistful piano music? Not how I want to see Madness presented at all. It's making me sad. I almost expected to see Suggsy's years or birth and death fade up on black at the end.
