The mother of a six-year-old boy whose dancing on stage with Madness went viral says it still feels “very surreal”.<\/p>\n
Henry, from Gainsborough, was invited on stage to dance with his heroes at the Lincoln Castle concert on 19 June. <\/p>\n
Since then, a video posted on social media has been seen by more than three million people.<\/p>\n
Rebecca said: “It does still feel very surreal that he was on stage with Suggs in front of 6,000 people. Henry doesn’t realise how big of a thing it is because he’s only six.”<\/p>\n
Henry was spotted by a Lincoln Castle photographer before the concert.<\/p>\n
After taking Henry’s photo, the photographer went off to talk to “some important people,” Rebecca said, speaking on BBC Breakfast on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“After about 20 minutes he came back and asked if Henry would like to meet the band.”<\/p>\n
Henry learnt some dance moves from his grandfather and through watching other people on Vespa and Lambretta scooter rallies where they play ska, reggae and 2 Tone, said Rebecca.<\/p>\n
Henry, who said Baggy Trousers was his favourite song, said: “I was nervous to start with but daddy and grandad made me feel confident.<\/p>\n
“Grandad took me backstage to meet the band.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The mother of a six-year-old boy whose dancing on stage with Madness went viral says it still feels…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":652316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-664518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=664518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=664518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=664518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=664518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
