Live Performance
Specials / Madness Tribute
2 Bands … 2-Tone … 1 Fantastic Night!
A Specials Tribute Band and a Madness Tribute Band, all on one stage. That’s Special Kinda Madness.
Special Kinda Madness perform a truly authentic set from each band, combining the phenomenally energetic stage presence of The Specials with the wonderful iconic tunes of the Madness ‘Nutty Boys’. With Special Kinda Madness you get a Madness tribute band and a Special tribute band on the same stage!
Playing a set from each band and producing a show that will have the audience up and dancing from the off, Special Kinda Madness will have everyone hankering after that exciting era of 2-Tone and ska.
The Dublin Castle is a legendary pub and music venue located 2 minutes away from Camden Town tube station. It has been run by the same family for over 28 years and features 4 live bands every night as well as a great selection of beers, ciders and wines.
There are DJs after the bands on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and a fabulous jukebox in the front bar if you’re after a more relaxed atmosphere.
But what is it that makes the Dublin Castle the long-standing centre of the indie rock universe? Is it because it’s Madness’ birthplace? Because its stage has been graced by everyone from Blur, through Coldplay, Supergrass, The Killers, The Arctic Monkeys, Billy Bragg, etc? Is it because it was no surprise to see Amy Winehouse behind the bar serving costumers? Or Suggs? (who, mind you, tended to ignore costumers and serve himself) Or is it because far from being just another Camden venue it has established itself as an indie rock institution? The answer is that it’s not only because of its musical heritage that people come to the Dublin Castle, it’s because whilst you enjoy a pint, play some tunes on the jukebox, check out the live bands, get your dancing shoes on for our DJs, chat to our friendly staff or even stage-invade a little, you’re inadvertently being part of this movement the Dublin Castle leads, this cultural legacy. Expect no castle battlements. Just pure rock and roll royalty.
Playing Madness Only.
Special Kinda Madness - Hey You! Don't Watch That ...you now the rest... welcome all to a special Sunday late afternoon show with the live music kicking off at 4pm, and a special Madness orientated set from the Specials/Madness tribute experts.
Featuring two sets of Nutty nuggets, S.K.M will surely get your loafers moving at a rate of knots over the hallowed Dublin Castle turf- ok dance floor, and we do have a 'proper' dance floor for the betterment of your skanking pleasure. And in case you forgot, Suggs did hail the DC as 'the ancestral seat of Madness', so it all makes sense.
This wonderful band will be playing all the classic Madness hits from the last 30 plus years along with some of the lesser heard album tracks. It’s a Madness Fest, and definitely not to be missed!
