FOR the Murray family in Bo'ness, 'Our house, in the middle of our street', is now on the website of pop/ska icons Madness!
Son Lewis (9) was a Public School presentee on Fair Day, all kitted out with classmates in Madness-style black fedoras, braces and shades, tying in with the primary's theme.

Joiner dad William (39) plus arty helpers had transformed the front of their Bonhard Way home into an Our House-inspired album cover.
And the Madness logo of a crown atop an M was suitably regal for a Fair Day!

The Murray's won a special Fair Day prize for their Madness frontage and it certainly caught the band's attention, with photos posted on their website gallery in a special fans' section.

Mum Pamela (35) said: "My husband, that's kind of his era and he was a right Madness fan in his day.

"He decided to do something simple, but effective.

"I just thought last week, I'll email the band and see what they say and they emailed right back and thought it was fantastic."

Lewis said: "I liked wearing the braces and the tie and it was fun making the shadow for the album cover, we had to draw round people!"

School pal and neighbour Adam Grieve's Madness arch doubled the fun for music fans touring Bonhard Way on Fair E'en.
