RICHARD STRANGE is truly a Renaissance Man who really HAS done it all!!” Robert Elms BBC Radio London
Probably uniquely in popular culture Richard Strange really has done it all! Writer musician composer nightclub host curator actor and adventurer Richard Strange was born in London in 1951. Since his proto-punk rock band Doctors of Madness (“The missing link between David Bowie and The Sex Pistols…” wrote The Guardian in May 2017) was first unleashed on an uncomprehending public in 1975 (the band were supported by The Sex Pistols, The Jam and Joy Division) he has been a Zelig-like figure whose presence has been felt in every corner of London’s cultural life.
His memoir Strange- Punks and Drunks and Flicks and Kicks was published by Andre Deutsch in 2005 and was recently serialized as an audio book. Richard’s has recently branched out into broadcasting with his own Dark Times Radio weekly broadcast and syndications to various radio stations around the world and has written two plays When You Awake You Will Remember Nothing (2022) and The Black Square (2025)which he directed and starred in and which premiered in London to great acclaim earlier this year.
FREDDIE LENNOX is a songwriter living in London who crafts melodic and retro poetic pop songs. His songs inspired by Jackson Browne Mississippi John Hurt Bob Dylan Muddy Waters and the Beatles. Richard Strange says “The first time I saw him I was blown away. He reminds me of a young Dylan arriving in Greenwich Village in 1961. He has the lot…the voice the songs the charisma and the hunger. My favourite new artist of this year bar none”.
