Christmas party band
December 19, 2011
December has seen MADHEN as busy as ever with the Christmas party season in full swing.
We were delighted to be invited back to Old Billingsgate again this year, for a string of Christmas parties.
Ultimate always throw amazing parties and events. So collaborating with them is always a fun and exciting prospect.
This years theme was ‘Showtime’ and Old Billingsgate was transformed into a vintage ‘deco style’ movie theatre.
We put together video footage shown on 3 giant screens for the event. Opening with a Madonna/Gaga mash-up of ‘Vogue’ and ‘Born This Way’ using various bits of footage. Hollywood icons and lip synch from our very own glamorous singer Helen York in a black & white glossy looking film noir style really sets the scene. Various other imagery continues on screen for an hour as we play through our eclectic floor-filling set.
We want to thank everyone involved in making every night a success. With clients such as ‘Carphone Warehouse’, ‘Ernst & Young’, ‘Sony’ and ‘IG Group’ we had an absolute blast on stage. From lighting and sound, to caterers and security. We’d like to thank you all for a great run. Special thanks to all at Ultimate.
We have video footage coming soon, so watch this space
Love from all at MADHEN x x x x x
September
September 29, 2011
Over the past month MADHEN have been travelling all over the UK and abroad. After some great gigs at the Birmingham ICC and London, in just 9 days we took 12 flights and slept in 8 different hotels to perform 6 gigs. We have been performing in Aberdeen for BP (British Petroleum) every Friday this month at the Ardoe House Hotel. We had two beautiful weddings in Jersey with our good friends at Delta Production Services who really know how to throw a great party! We also had the privilege of playing in the Zofin Palace in Prague for an amazing crowd of new partners from around the world for Ernst & Young. We then flew to Milan to perform a corporate event at a beautiful hotel on Lake Maggiore in Italy. Celtic Manor was the setting for a great gig last week and tomorrow sees us returning to Aberdeen for our last gig for BP with the lovely people from Roselle. It is the busiest month we’ve ever had in our 11 year history. More blog updates next week with videos and pictures from this crazy whirlwind month of gigs! Thanks to everyone who’s been involved and to the amazing crowds who’ve kept us going. Next week Barcelona and Majorca!!!!!
Hello Magazine
August 2, 2011
We were lucky enough to get a mention in Hello magazine this week. Its a souvenir edition of our performance at last weekends royal wedding at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
And another performance also proved a big hit with guests. As HELLO! can reveal, the party-goers were royally entertained by a rousing set from Scissor Sisters tribute band Madhen.
Said one guest: They put on a show-stopping performance on a stage with a video wall backdrop. The band had everyone on the dancefloor.
“After Madhen’s performance, the DJ took over, with guest partying until the early hours.”

Summer Party
July 29, 2011
We had a very early start last week with a 9.30am sound check at Chiswick Business Park. It was a beautiful sunny day in West London and such a great location in the heart of Chiswick. The award winning park was hosting a lunchtime ‘C-Festival’ for its workers. We performed two sets in the glorious sunshine. Thanks to Rouge Events and all involved for a wonderful day.
Check out the little video we put together

Busy busy hen’s this week. We’ve updated our website with new pics and bits!
Have been having some great gigs, from gorgeous weddings to big corporate parties. Lots of activity in the office this week too, with many new enquiries and confirmations. We have 3 gigs this week alone and September is looking really busy with every Friday spent in Aberdeen!
Also working on new tracks and our Christmas setlist too. This is as good a time as any to thank all those who contribute to the success of MADHEN. There’s a lot of great creative people we work with and companies who book us time and time again. We are truly appreciative and look forward to a continued year of success

From Russia with love
June 2, 2011
MADHEN made our debut performance in Russia this week! We flew out to St Petersburg for a corporate party for ‘Landmark’. The venue was beautiful and it was great to perform in Russia for the first time. We’d been pencilled to play there on a few previous occasions.
We flew out from London Heathrow at 6am to Zurich. Then we transferred to another Swiss Air flight to St Petersburgh.
Thanks to everyone involved in all the planning and the smooth sailing of the gig. Here’s to the next time!
Chiswick House Wedding
May 31, 2011
We performed at Chiswick House last weekend for Nicholas and Nicola’s wedding which was an absolute blast. The venue is beautiful and this was matched by the family and friends of the happy couple. Nicholas and Nicola performed an amazing first dance to ‘Boogie Wonderland’ from the movie ‘Happy Feet’. We followed with 2 hours of MADHEN party music which kept the dance floor packed all night in the beautiful marquee. Such an amazing crowd and Nicola didn’t leave the dance floor once! We want to thank everyone for making us feel very welcome and for looking after us for the whole day and evening. A beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple.
Nicola sent us this lovely message before they flew out for their honeymoon:
Hi Martyn, on our way to the airport for honeymoon:) Thank u so much for an amazing evening! U guys were incredible and all of our guests were blown away by u. The dancing, choreography, songs, outfits, everything rocked. And finishing the night with my favourite song too! We nearly walked in to the marquee for dinner to that Bon Jovi number! Perfect. We loved every minute of it and couldn’t have had a better day and night. Thank you for making our wedding the best:)
