Liberty of Norton Folgate

[spyglass]

For anyone who is intrested in the history of East London,I demand you listen to the new MADNESS album "The Liberty OF Norton Folgate, better still if you can get to see the accompaying film, even better. A work of genius and with a few glimpses of JTR thrown in for good measure. Anyone agree ?

[Scott Nelson]

Well, I don't know. It depends on who plays the bass guitar, I guess. Are they still a ska band?

[Monty]

Bedders Scott.

Norton Folgate is the only album of theirs I havent got.

.....I'll tell em Im a product of a broken home, and I often go out on me own....

I saw the live concert on ITV a few nights ago. Good enough but not the masterpiece NORTON FOLGATE has been cited as being.

One thing I did notice, though. Whilst speaking of Kentish Town, they put up a photograph of the defunct Conway Trading shop at 15 Toynbee Street. I commented on it to my Ripper group last night as we walked past it, none of whom had seen the programme.

Yep, though without the umlaut! It came out early this year and most of the reviews said it was their best album ever.
