Patrick Duff

In the 90s Patrick Duff was the singer in Strangelove; the Bristol alternative band who released three critically-acclaimed albums on Parlophone EMI. After Strangelove, Patrick travelled the world, playing his songs in festivals and working with other musicians; most notably a collaboration with an 81-year-old woman, African storyteller and musician Madosini, with whom he lived and worked in the townships of Capetown South Africa.On his return in 2005 Duff’s first recorded solo album 'Luxury Problems' featuring members of Portishead, Spiritualised and Suede was released on EMI's legendary Harvest label. In early 2010 Patrick launched his new album 'The Mad Straight Road', which again features a host of acclaimed musicians, and which he describes as "a synthesis of some of the music that has shaped my life". Alongside this amazing new record of rich textures, Patrick is embarking on a series of intimate, one-man solo shows across the UK which showcase his unique song writing talent.
