Imagem Music sign worldwide publishing deal with Madness

London / 24 October

Imagem Music UK is delighted to announce a worldwide publishing agreement with iconic English ska band, Madness. 

As one of the UK's most prominent bands of the last 30 years , Madness have remained a significant draw and influence upon the British music scene, with their last studio album Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da affirming “the evergreen joys of the band’s giddy ska pop” cited The Observer.

 Madness celebrate the best of British culture – evident in that they performed at Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Party and also at the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games - with their trademark sound providing the soundtrack to a multi cultural and vibrant Britain.

 The new publishing deal came into effect from 16 September and was signed in Paris where they had just headlined a show at the Olympia.  Covering the albums Wonderful (1999), The Liberty of Norton Folgate (2009), and Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da (2012).

Comments Kim Frankiewicz, Managing Director Imagem Music UK – “Madness are a fantastically British band; since the late 70s they’ve provided a sonic narrative to British culture. We’re absolutely delighted to be working with them moving forward, and also representing the last three albums from their stellar catalogue”.  

Madness manager Hugh Gadsdon added "Imagem are an exciting, relatively new company, who over the last five years have demonstrated an energy & ambition which we could not ignore & wanted to be part of. The Madness team are looking forward to working closely with Kim & Imagem, as the band continue to tour globally & record great new music”.
