## Description

Madness on stage 2022 - One Step Beyond Madness brought their particular brand of organised chaos to Thetford Forest's High Lodge on 18th June 2022, closing out Forest Live in typically riotous fashion. Originally booked for 2020 before Covid put paid to that, the sold-out show felt all the more earned for the wait. Suggs led the seven-piece through a set that wasted no time getting to the point. One Step Beyond opened proceedings, the crowd already a sea of fezzes and pork pie hats, and from there the hits came thick and fast. The Prince, My Girl, It Must Be Love, House of Fun. Two encores, including Night Boat to Cairo, before the forest gradually emptied of blow-up saxophones and damp headwear. Forest Live's woodland setting makes for a genuinely unusual backdrop for a gig of this scale, and Madness, four decades in, still looked like they were having the time of their lives.
