2/ What they say about Richard Strange [ Back ]

Paul Morley: -'In my version of Rock History, Richard Strange looms a lot larger than Pete Townsend'

Damien Hirst: 'It's a Strange world'

Shane McGowan: -'Richard Strange is a diamond geezer'

Simple Minds: -'The Doctors of Madness-Now There was a Band'

Depeche Mode: -'What's really looking forward is what's happening at Richard Strange's Cabaret Futura, not us.'

James Nesbitt: '12 years after first meeting him, just thinking about Richard still reduces me to a state of near hysteria... and terror. He restores one's faith in the ability of the human spirit to soar.'

Sam Taylor-Wood: 'Richard is the best gargoyle in town'

Julian Cope: 'When Ziggy shagged all of Amon Duul 2 at the Berlin premiere of 'A Clockwork Orange', their divine progeny was undoubtedly Kid Strange'

James Fox: 'Richard Strange is a very peculiar person; very disturbing to look at, as if always about to burst into some frothing madness. He can do most things with a maniacal twist, and most cleverly, with unmatched originality: he can also sing, write songs, he can act, he can show off like a six year old and he has the most dangerous sense of hilarity, sustainable in moments of deepest solemnity'.

Adrian Dannatt: 'Strange must surely be the funniest man in London...It is impossible to spend any time within his looming majesty without being engulfed in gales of health-inducing mirth and a sense of fraternal bohemian bonhomie long lost to our ambitious and crassly commercial times.'

Jay Jopling: 'Richard -Stranger Than Fiction'

The Independent: 'A seminal figure at the crossroads of art, music, film and counter-culture'.
