## Description

Brought to you by Penguin. Shortlisted for the Best Ensemble Narration Award at the New York Festival Radio Awards 2020. This audiobook is Madness' story in their own words - with each band member featuring as a narrator. In their own words they each look back on their shared adventures. Playing music together, riding freight trains, spraying graffiti and stealing records. Walking in one another's footsteps by day and rising up through the city's exploding pub music scene by night. Before We Was We is irreverent, funny and full of character. Just like them.
