An Evening with Richard Strange

[fmttmadmin]

Saturday, 4th February: An Accent Waiting To Happen – An Evening with Richard ‘Kid’ Strange from Doctors of Madness @ 19.30pm Adv Tkts £12 OTD £15
Westgarth Social Club, Middlesbrough.
Tickets for all shows are available online through SEE Tickets, We’ve Got Tickets & Ents 24.

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.
Now comes his solo show An Accent Waiting To Happen, an evening of songs, films clips, stories, readings and downright scurrilous gossip from his 40 years in the arts and entertainment world.

Wasn't Penetration one of the DoM's support bands as well?

When playing Redcar, Strange would make a comment about the 'Blade Runner' vista from the Parkway.

He mentions his Middlesbrough gig with the Pistols as support at 8 minutes in.

I saw him support The Psychedelic Furs in the UK just a few years ago.

Strange indeed.

I'm away that weekend, otherwise I'd have been all over this! I'd thoroughly recommend it - I once did an hour-long interview with Richard on BBC Tees, and he's one of the most brilliant raconteurs I've ever spoken to. The Peter Ustinov of proto-punk. It'll be fantastic.

Remember this is coming up on Saturday at the Westgarth Social Club, Middlesbrough.
Promoter Steve Harland has posted an interesting interview up on facebook.
