Lee Jay Thompson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lee Jay Thompson (born October 5, 1957 in London), sometimes nicknamed Kix or El Thommo, is an English musician, best known as the saxophonist and songwriter of the second wave ska band Madness.
He started Madness with Mike Barson and Chris Foreman in 1976. After Madness disbanded in 1986 he formed a new band The Madness with Foreman, Suggs and Chas Smash but it was not successful and broke up after one album, also titled The Madness. Then he, alongside Chris Foreman, created another group The Nutty Boys with himself on vocals. Thompson reunited with all seven original Madness members in 1992 and still plays with them.
[edit] Trivia
Allegedly, Lea turned up to an audition for Madness with a large oblong box and a book titled "How To Play The Saxophone".
