About this listen

Suggs is one of pop music's most enduring and likeable figures. Read by the author himself with the assured style and wit of a natural raconteur, this hugely entertaining and insightful autobiography takes you from his colourful early life on a North London council estate, through the heady early days of Punk and 2-Tone, to the eighties, where Madness became the biggest selling singles band of the decade.

Along the way he tells you what it's like to grow up in sixties Soho, go globetrotting with your best mates, to make a dead pigeon fly and cause an earthquake in Finsbury Park.

What an incredible listen to one of the OG bands in my life. It felt like you were sitting in a lovely pub in London with Suggs chatting away, telling all his stories and antidotes. It feels like he only scratched the surface and could have many more stories.

If you’re even a minimal Madness fan, I would recommend.

Love Suggs in my ear
