Madness are to take to the stage at Englefield House near Pangbourne in Berkshire for a huge outdoor show as part of the 2024 Heritage Live Concert series! Known for their raucous live sets, Madness will headline on Friday 19th July.

The show will see them joined by special guests Lightning Seeds and the Old Time Sailors. With their huge singles such as ‘One Step Beyond’, ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘House of Fun’, ‘Our House’, and more, Madness have become one of the most celebrated British bands of all-time since their emergence from Camden Town in the 1970s. Amongst many awards the band have received, in 2000 they were awarded an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection. Lightning Seeds are the brainchild of writer, singer, guitarist and producer Ian Broudie. Celebrating their 35th anniversary in 2024, Ian as Lightning Seeds released debut album ‘Cloudcukooland’ featuring the hit single ‘Pure’ in 1989. Second album ‘Sense’ followed before the release of the seminal album ‘Jollification’ in 1994 which has so far sold nearly 1 million copies. In 1996 the iconic single ‘3 Lions’ for the England football team topped the charts many times over. The show will be opened by the Old Time Sailors, who take audiences back to the 19th Century with their immersive experience of seafaring music performed with traditional instruments.

Biographie de Ian Broudie and the Lightning Seeds
Lightning Seeds emerged from Liverpool’s post-punk clubs to become one of the biggest-selling indie/alternative bands of a vibrant UK scene. Fronted by Ian Broudie and championed by legendary DJ John Peel, Lightning Seeds delivered an iconic pop classic in ‘Pure’ and went on to sell over a million copies of their album Jollification. Broudie also found time to produce artists such as Dodgy, Alison Moyet, Terry Hall, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Coral and The Zutons.
Broudie quickly outgrew what we might term his inauspicious indie beginnings – faced with clanging disinterest from major labels, Broudie signed to Rough Trade in 1989, only pressing up 500 copies of debut single Pure. But the single kept selling, requiring re-press after re-press. After many months and lots of graft, their “modest” grassroots campaign took off, with the song cracking the Top 20 in the UK and the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and the
Modern Rock Tracks top 10 in the United States.
It was more kick-bollock-scramble than some grand masterplan, but it worked: debut album
Cloudcuckooland was also a hit, and Lightning Seeds had lift-off. A major deal and a second album,
Sense (1992), followed, as did another pop song that would become equally Nineties-totemic, The Life of
Riley, written for Broudie’s infant son.
Then lightning struck for a third time, with Jollification.
A fourth time? Indeed: two years later, Broudie composed Three Lions as the official England song for
Euro ’96. The song hit Number One and became a genuinely era-defining anthem – and one with a remarkable afterlife, as it regained the top slot two years later, during the 1998 World Cup in France and then again as recently as 2018.
In 2024, Lightning Seeds celebrate 35 years with 'Tomorrow's Here Today', a Greatest Hits UK Tour and album.
