Description:
After a decade, Madness releases a new album, 'The Liberty of Norton Folgate,' a connected song cycle about London. While the songs explore different parts of the city, they musically focus on the waves of immigration – Irish, Jewish, Caribbean, Asian, and others – and their musical impact on London. The concert at Hackney Empire connects to the venue's Music Hall history, placing Madness within a uniquely English popular musical tradition rooted in the Victorian era. Suggs and Carl guide the audience through London's past, referencing the eras of Karl Marx and Jack the Ripper. They humorously introduce each song’s subject, taking viewers on a tour of the Old East End, Spitalfields, Smithfield, Wapping, Bethnal Green, and finally, the Thames beaches beyond Tower Bridge.
