For the third night under the Big Top at Markeaton Park on Sunday, there was no shortage of sing along songs and dad dancing as Rick Astley and the iconic Madness entertained a crowd that clearly demanded a night of hits, and who were not disappointed.
One of the architects of the ska movement, Madness (from Camden Town in North London), had a rip-roaring heyday from their debut disc (1979's "One Step Beyond") until their initial demise in 1986 (it was only temporary, as they would reform in 1999).
