The Bed & Breakfast Men Information Service
Probably the best ukulele based, close harmony, 'Madness' tribute duo in the whole world.
2020 has been tough on many of us for reasons we all know, but today Matt released the acoustic version of what would’ve been this year’s Bed & Breakfast Men Christmas single “Don’t Give Up on Christmas”, an upbeat tune with words of hope and encouragement to see us through the festive season.
So make yourself comfy and click the link above to listen, and remember – don’t give up on Christmas (no, no, no).

The third charity single by The Bed & Breakfast Men.
Coming on December 3rd, our favourite double-act, Matt & Nick Holt – The Bed & Breakfast Men debut their third charity single: Limelight!
This song strays from their Nutty roots, and is sure to please. As a tribute to their favourite comedic and musical duos, including Laurel & Hardy, Chas & Dave, Cannon & Ball, just to name a few.
The accompanying music video is nearing completion and the boys say its their best yet.
Look out for details of how to get your limited edition single later this month!

BBMIS Exclusive demo sneak peek on its way…
Today, Sunday 4th of February is World Cancer Day, an international event to raise awareness of cancer and how important it is that we do everything we can to prevent it.
Here’s a message from Matt about The Bed & Breakfast Men’s support of cancer charities:
““It’s fitting that this year’s Mad Chat charity of choice is CLIC Sargent Cancer charity as our Ukulele duo has its roots in our early incarnation as “The Lonesome Pines” when we busked for a Saturday every year in aid of Cancer Research. It’s something we got the idea for when Suggs promoted “Busking for Cancer” a few years back. The Lonesome Pines morphed into The Bed & Breakfast Men but our aim is the same to sing the songs we love and raise money for a cause that’s close to our hearts, fund raising should be “fun” after all. It was great to hear that Lee Thompson also supports CLIC sargent and was happy to be on board for our last charity single… We are hoping he’s up for the next one, too. So Keep Moving folks and together we can Compete with Cancer and kick it’s ass off the planet someday soon we hope.”
Today Matt and Nick have released a very fitting and encouraging Madness cover mash-up of ‘Keep Moving’ and ‘I’ll Compete’, first performed by Matt at the Mad Chatter’s Tea Party in November 2017.
As you know, the current Mad Chat charity cause is CLIC Sargent, a charity focused on helping young people diagnosed with cancer. Last Christmas the boys released their second charity single, ‘To the Moon (and Back Again)’ in aid of CLIC Sargent.
Thanks again to everyone who did their bit by buying either a CD, download, DVD, or special package – Over £700 was raised to help young people diagnosed with cancer.

Last week a vote was held by Reggae Steady Ska for the best music video of 2017, and well deserving of it, the Bed & Breakfast Men took the win with a very decent 25% of the vote with Dublin Castle, beating even Madness themselves!
Congratulations to everyone involved in the video! You can view the results of the vote here.

The new single by The Bed & Breakfast Men is out now!
Mr. Bed, Mr. Breakfast, and, wait – Who is Mr. Moon? Its the question on everyone’s mind. And now night has fallen, the moon is out, and all is finally revealed!
Despite problems seeming to arise at every turn, these fellas do not give up, and have pulled together a brilliant video for their new single, ‘To the Moon (and Back Again)’, which is now available to order, for Mad Chat’s new charity cause CLIC Sargent, who support young people fighting cancer.
There are a limited run of 100 CDs available, costing £5 (which includes UK P&P) sent via PayPal to info@mglmedia.tv . The ‘B Side’ (not actually a B side, just track 2, so don’t try playing it upside-down) is the first B&B hit ‘Dublin Castle’ which is song #0001 on the jukebox at the Dublin Castle herself.
I was lucky enough to be involved in this music video, and will be posting some exclusive BTS (behind the scenes) footage very soon!
