Bio
Adrian Thaws (born 27 January 1968), better known as Tricky, is a rapper and musician from Knowle West, Bristol, England who is important in the trip-hop scene (despite loathing the tag) and remains influential on the British scene more generally. He is noted for an asthmatic whispering lyrical style that is half-rapped, half-sung.

Presumably Tricky never forgot about the Bristol-bred sound that made him a star though he did do his damnedest to walk away from it.

He may or may not have resumed the habit – he was certainly puffing on some sort of cigarette toward the end of this show – but the spell of clear-headedness has had an effect.

Club Academy, Manchester, Wednesday, February 18 Outside Tricky's Shockwaves NME Awards gig, there's a pair of city-hippies wearing all kinds of offending wool and smoking what your mother has never used in a herb salad.
