MADNESS, Colonial-style stage helmet associated with *Night Boat to

A British colonial pith helmet / Wolseley-style helmet, associated with one of the most recognisable images from Madness’s early days. The pith helmet became a defining feature of the world of ‘Night Boat to Cairo’, a track recorded in 1979 and featured on the band’s debut album, *One Step Beyond*.... In the music video made the following year to accompany the EP *Work Rest and Play*, the members of Madness appear dressed in deliberately caricatured British colonial outfits, shorts and helmets of this type, against a backdrop of Egyptian pyramids. The helmet was given away by one of the band members backstage during the band’s concert in Lyon in 1979.
