Theming
Apart from great song-choices, unique arrangements and dynamic choreography, Madhen is known for its sartorial elegance on stage, feathers and sequins are never far away! However, we're always happy to incorporate the theme of your event into our stage-wear. Whether its simply reflecting the colour scheme of your wedding (a small but very effective touch) to full-on powdered wigs, circus clown make-up or even Rocky Horror heels and stockings - we're up for most things! For a fully integrated live experience please contact us to discuss how we can make the party band you choose for your event about more than just a full dance floor.
Tributes
Madhen's reputation has been many years in the making. We first started to work together as So Blondie (originally named Bleach) in 2000. It was whilst working in a Bill Kenwright theatre production that we actually met. Helen was hired specifically to play the part of Debbie Harry. She was so convincing that forming So Blondie was a natural step following the tour, performing up to an hour of the greatest hits of this iconic new wave band. At an event in central London Helen was 'papped' and even the national press thought she was the real Debbie Harry (albeit 20 years younger!)
Having played many of the usual 'tribute' venues throughout the UK we felt there was a demand for an all-encompassing 80's themed show. Something with wider appeal that would specifically be of interest to the corporate market. So 80's was born! This was the catalyst that lead to many of the valuable business partnerships we still enjoy today. We perform two hours of the very best pop and rock songs by the likes of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Wham!, Madonna and Prince...amongst many others!
We had begun to develop our own in-house roster of bands, without really planning it this way! Uniquely, we were (and still are) able to offer multiple tribute shows at the same event, which has several benefits. Not least logistically, technically and of course financially. Before long we found ourselves performing as a combination of tribute artistes with an ever increasing repertoire of songs. Like most of our best decisions, we listened to our clients. It was as a direct result of combining acts that Madhen (Party Band) was formed. The rest as they say, is history...
