Conducted by official Camden Tour Guide and Madness fan Frank K Molloy, this walk explores the story of Madness, the ever-popular UK band. This year, they are celebrating 50 years since the first Nutty sound developed into an enduring musical legacy. So join us as we go One Step Beyond in commemorating a national treasure.
It’s incredible to think that the first seeds of this band were planted way back in 1976, when early members got together in a north London house with the idea of making music. But how did they originate? Who were their influences? And how did that famous ‘Nutty Sound’ evolve?
Your guide will provide the answers by leading you through the various locations around Camden Town. These were the stomping grounds of Madness during the 1970s and 80s, and we will also examine why these streets became so inspirational to their music.
The first walk takes place on Sun Mar 15, 2026, at 10:30am from outside Chalk Farm Underground Station. It will take approximately two hours and finish about 12:30pm close to Camden Town Underground. This walk is limited to ticket holders who have booked through Eventbrite only. Further walks are scheduled later in 2026.
