Nutty boys Madness preparing for date at Newbury Racecourse

FORGET Our House, the Nutty Boys will soon be singing Our Racecourse after being booked in for a summer showcase at Newbury.

Combining the genres of Ska, Reggae, Motown, Rock ’n’Roll and Classic Pop, Madness have become one of the music industry’s best loved British bands.

And the boys will be performing at Newbury Racecourse at its first Party in the Paddock act after racing ends on Saturday, August 17.

Fronted by the charismatic Suggs, Madness’ ability to write songs that sparkle with the stuff of British life, that find poetry in everyday reality, has lead them to have many hits including Baggy Trousers, It Must Be Love, Driving In My Car, Our House and the 1982 number on song House of Fun.

In the last few years they have also delivered historic performances at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert and at the 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony, cementing them as one of the nation’s most successful bands.

Rob Boobyer, Head of Marketing for Newbury Racecourse commented: “We are delighted to be welcoming Madness back after a four-year gap on Saturday August 17 as one of our Party in the Paddock events. Forever popular with our racegoers and given the welcome they received in 2015, I’m sure it will be a great day combining the best of British music with the best of British racing.”
