Growing Out of It : Machinations before Madness
Lee Thompson / Madness - Book - by L. Thompson and Ian Snowball
(2021)
Foreword by Martin Freeman - Whether flying across a screen or lighting up
the stage, Madness' wild, energetic sax player has always been hard to
miss. For Lee 'KIX' Thompson, life is for having as much fun as
possible. Growing Out of It is the tale of one 'nutty boy' not really
growing out of it at all.
From getting up to no good as a
teenager to his many musical (mis)adventures in the 1970s, Lee's memoir
of his formative years captures his enduring love for his north London
stomping ground, where he first met the other members of Madness. This
is a story of growing up in a certain time and place when anything felt
possible, even a bunch of north London lads forming a ska revival band -
and becoming one of Britain's best-loved groups.
