On WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 28th RICHARD STRANGE and CLIFFORD SLAPPER will be returning to Piano Smithfield following Richard's sold out one-man show last year.

This time, Richard will showcase a brand-new, all-music show, ?Richard Strange in concert with Clifford Slapper and Friends?, in which Richard will perform songs he has written over the past 50 years in dazzling new acoustic arrangements.

Since his days as singer and founder member of the pioneering 1970s rock band Doctors of Madness, through various solo projects and collaborations with artists such as Sarah Jane Morris, Anni Hogan, The International Noise Orchestra, Jeremy Reed, Damon Albarn, Hal Willner, Jolie Holland, The Band of Holy Joy, Tom Robinson, TV Smith and Gavin Bryars, Richard has proved to be an inspired and influential musician and composer, whose work has been referenced by artists as diverse as Def Leppard and Vic Reeves.

He will be accompanied for this unique show by acclaimed pianist Clifford Slapper, who has worked with David Bowie, Boy George, Marc Almond, Suggs, Jarvis Cocker, & many others. Clifford played the piano part for David Bowie's appearance on Ricky Gervais's "Extras" TV show, wrote the best -selling book on Mike Garson "Bowie's Piano Man" and was the house pianist at the legendary Colony Room for many years

The two will be joined by some very special guests for the show.

It promises to be a great night. Audience limited to 75 people.
