We’re in a celebratory mood at Madhen, as this year marks our 18th Anniversary! A lot has changed since we performed for the first time as Blondie Tribute Band ‘Bleach’ in July 2000. But remarkably the band is still the same line up. Matthew joined Helen, Paul, Andy and Martyn two years later to form ‘So 80’s’ – the next …
From the Prehistoric to the Revolutionary!
Natural History Museum This weekend found Madhen playing in front of two very contrasting icons. On Friday evening we were performing in the entrance hall of the Natural History Museum. The hall is a breathtaking cathedral-like room, dominated by the cast of a diplodocus skeleton. The impressive cast was first unveiled in 1905 and is presided over from the grand …
May with Madhen, Part 2
Iain & Michelle’s wedding When one of your corporate clients books you for their wedding you know you’re doing something right! Set in the stunning grounds at Slaugham Place, we were made to feel welcome right from the outset! It was a double celebration as it was also Matthew’s birthday.

January 2016 with Madhen Party Band
2016 started with a return to one of our favourite and most intimate venues, Zigfrid Von Underbelly in Hoxton Square. This quirky and cool basement venue is not your typical corporate venue. Very much part of the unsigned London music circuit, it’s rough edges have more than a whiff of Rock n Roll – not quite CBGB’s but probably as …
It (was) the most wonderful time of the year!
December has traditionally been the busiest month of the year for Madhen. That was until June, September, October and November caught up – not that we’re complaining! What December does is condense all our bookings into the first 2 ½ – 3 weeks, with a week off for Christmas before New Year’s Eve. London party venues This Christmas bought its …

Enjoying Partying with the Watts’, the Smyths’ and ASCN
Watts’ Party The strongest form of marketing for us is being seen to do what we do best – perform. After first seeing us three years ago at The Goodwood Revival racing driver Patrick Watts and his wife Pam, decided they’d like us to play at a Hollywood-themed party celebrating Patrick’s 60th and their daughter Aimee’s 21st birthdays. From the moment we arrived …
