Patrick Duff

A dilapidated Bristol church brought back to vibrant life

This critically acclaimed Bristol band eventually self-destructed along with their lead man who spent time in rehab for his drug and alcohol problems.

However, anyone familiar with the former Strangelove frontman’s spikey-haired, flamboyant-flared trousered theatrics might be slightly taken aback.

When heroes of the past are often hailed rather than derided, this bizarre, but cleverly-timed comeback from Patrick Duff (lead singer of former Melody Maker lurkers, Strangelove) musters up more giggly befuddlement, than edgy excitement.
