Music & Theatre / Arts & Culture BADNESS

About this event

Event info

"BADNESS" formed in July 1994 and quickly became one of the top Madness tribute bands & Ska / 2Tone revival bands in the country.

Within six months the band were selling out various venues across the U.K.

Originally a seven piece outfit consisting of; guitar, bass, drums, sax, trumpet, keyboards and vocals. They soon became six, with front man and vocalist (only original member) taking over on the trumpet (but not at the same time!).

Playing classic Madness, Bad Manners and The Specials, to name but a few. "BADNESS" also play a few of their own songs, written with input from every member of the band. "Trojan Horse" is an instrumental and is much like an old ska classic.

With tours of Israel, Germany and Spain under their belts, and having played every town & city in the U.K. (well almost!) "BADNESS" have built up a cult following and regularly sell out venues across the country.

Re-live the "Dance Crazy" days of the late 70's & early 80's with the No.1 SKA revival band in the U.K.
