Madness have been at the forefront of English ska music since the 1970s popularising the genre in London’s trendy Camden Town. Reaching a high-water mark in the 1980s, Madness are known for their catchy tunes and playful videos with almost anyone able to sing along to popular singles like ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘Nightboat to Cairo’, ‘One Step Beyond’ and the unforgettable ‘It Must Be Love’. The Los Palmas 6 (LP6) are a terrific Madness tribute act and stellar live band for private or corporate entertainment. LP6 are the closest thing to the original Madness with Steve Turner, the LP6 saxophonist, performing with Madness for eight years and recording three albums.
Steve formed LP6 following this in 1998 with the regular seven-piece live band established in 2004. The rest of the band are world-class musicians with an impressive musical pedigree to their names. Playing major festivals and tours with other ska and punk giants such as The UK SUBS, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, The Hotknives, Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra, and Bad Manners, LP6 have a wealth of experience and knowledge to bring to any event. Such is the success of the band that even current members of the real Madness, Lee Thompson and Woody, have played cameos in LP6.
This makes LP6 the most authentic Madness tribute band in the world. The live band is a hit at corporate events with the energetic sets the perfect addition to any corporate event. Live brass, strings, drums, and vocals are always a hit with prestigious clients like the BBC, Virgin Records, Splash FM, and Arsenal Football Club.
