We thought we were doing something really exciting. We were having the time of our lives.� Chas on the 2 Tone Tour �We don�t care if the crowd are in the NF or the BM or whatever as long as they behave themselves, having a good time and not fighting. What does it matter? Who cares what their political views are? We don�t ask them if they�re Conservative or Labour when they come through the door. There�s no difference, they�re all kids.� Chas on the allegations that Madness were supporters of the NF or BM. �The main thing for me is that if you see a Zarjazz record you know it�ll be a good record with a good B side and it�ll be well done.� Chas on the formation of Madness� own record label, Zarjazz. �We allowed ourselves a couple of months to think about it, because it was a big thing to split after about nine years. We got so bored after two weeks that we decided to get back together.� Chas on forming the band The Madness. �I wanted my songs to be good because of my ego and sense of well being. I also wanted to help the band. And, secretly, I wanted respect as a writer.� |
