PATRICK DUFF

An intimate evening with songs written over more than three decades - from the early days with Strangelove to the live premiere of new songs from the forthcoming album... Patrick Duff?s concerts are mesmerising experiences that resonate deeply. Known for their still, engaging atmospheres and characterised by?a haunting intimacy within the collective listening. Critics have described Duff as a "celebrant" who uses his music to connect the audience to a sense of the divine. "A show of pure magic, and a celebration of the sacred that keeps us from sinking into the darkness?" - The Arts Desk In recent years, his concerts have been held in unique venues that lend a story of their own: abandoned cathedrals, historic silent film cinemas, country churches and theatres. Receiving standing ovations and roaring audience feedback, these concerts sell out fast - most recently within minutes. "One of the UK?s most intriguing and compelling singer-songwriters" - BBC Radio His music is timeless, personal and poetic, variously described as indie noir, avant-folk and even baroque pop. Duff describes his current songwriting as intuitive and spontaneous, with songs "writing themselves" inside him. Transitioning from the raw indie rock energy of his 90s band?Strangelove, his solo work has evolved into a more controlled and yet still visceral form of?dark pop.? "Throughout his albums, he tells stories in a touching, in a wonderful way - very, very intense" - Radio 1
