Patrick Duff (born 30 June 1966, Bristol) is an English singer-songwriter, and was the lead singer of the alternative rock band Strangelove.
Patrick Duff was born in Bristol, England, to an Irish father and a Welsh mother on 30 June 1966. After dropping out of school and spending time as a street busker, he became lead singer of the alternative rock band Strangelove, who were signed to Food records, Parlophone/EMI. The band released three critically acclaimed albums between 1991 and 1998.
After Strangelove Patrick briefly formed another band, Moon, who split up after nine months having released only one single, "Anaesthesia". Then for two years Patrick lived somewhere in a forest outside Bristol. Between 2000 and 2004 he went on to travel the world as a solo artist with WOMAD Festival, collaborating with a number of artists, most notably the then 81-year-old veteran African master storyteller and musician Madosini, with whom he lived and worked in the township of Langa, in Cape Town, South Africa.
On returning to the UK, Patrick released his first solo album Luxury Problems, produced by Adrian Utley of Portishead and Alex Lee (Goldfrapp/ Placebo / Suede / Strangelove). The album was released on EMI’s legendary Harvest Records label – once home to Patrick’s childhood hero Syd Barrett – in June 2005.
