For this episode, we spin back to 1979, for a lively and laughter-filled conversation with two famous bass players and a drummer: Mark ‘Bedders’ Bedford of Madness, Guy Pratt (then of Speedball) and Brett ‘Buddy’ Ascott (then of The Chords). Together they discuss:
- the fashion forces that inspired that year’s mod and skinhead revivals;
- why the former musical movement fizzled out but the latter one gave us the lasting music of 2-Tone Records
- the influence of punk and the freedom it inspired
- why the music you listened to in that era defined the clothes that you wore and why gig-going was so dangerous
- getting into and playing in pub venues under age
- the role of fanzines in that tribal era
- Mark Bedford becoming a pop star at 17 and the Madness biographical movie Take It Or Leave It
- memories of meeting what was then a 15-year old fanzine scribe and why it mattered to get coverage in Jamming!
- Guy Pratt's memoir 'My Bass And Other Animals' and Tony Fletcher's memoir 'Boy About Town'
