Madness & Ska Tribute Night

A tribute evening at Aldridge Social Club in Walsall, devoted to the music of Madness and to ska, with tribute acts performing songs from the 2 Tone era.

Madness & Ska Tribute Night is a tribute to Madness, the British band formed in London in 1979 whose sound mixes 2 Tone, synth-pop and reggae. Their first album, One Step Beyond… (1979), was released on Virgin Records. The night is not performed by Madness themselves: it features tribute acts who recreate the music and style of Madness and of other ska artists.

The repertoire moves from Madness songs such as "Our House" and "Baggy Trousers" to classic ska tunes. The emphasis is on dancing and singing along, and the evening is pitched at fans of 2 Tone and 80s music as well as at anyone wanting a night out with friends.

The venue, Aldridge Social Club on High Street in Walsall, is a concert and performance venue. It has a spacious dance floor and a bar, and is a fully licensed venue with drinks available.
