The band members gather together, radiating an aura of triumph and camaraderie. This momentous occasion is marked by a two-part special on Radio 1 titled "Five Years of Madness" hosted by the esteemed DJ Mike Smith. Although drummer Woody is noticeably absent from the lineup, his place has been ingeniously filled by four-year-old Johnny Mearns from Islington. Born on August 11th, 1979 - coincidentally the same day that Madness released their debut record - young Johnny brings an endearing touch to this already extraordinary snapshot.

As pioneers of the influential two-tone movement during the late twentieth century's vibrant era known as the '80s', Madness continues to captivate audiences with their unique sound and infectious energy.
