This week, Laurie & Poly sit down with John Hasler, who is known to fans of Madness as the original Bed & Breakfast Man. John was with Madness from their earliest days as the North London Invaders, and since that time he has worn many hats: drummer, lead singer, and ultimately manager of the band. This is a great interview that Madness fans should not miss!
