What to expect

'A revelation. Richard Norris lived the twentieth century and beyond like no one else . . . this is one of the truly great eyewitness accounts of the counterculture' DAVID KEENAN

'A dazzling psychedelic memoir' CAUGHT BY THE RIVER

'Makes you feel like getting up and doing something!' WENDY ERSKINE

As a pioneering musician, producer and DJ, Richard Norris has been at the forefront of countless creative revolutions, from punk to acid house, psychedelia to the rise of EDM. In Strange Things Are Happening, this icon of the counterculture pulls back the curtain on decades of restless curiosity and boundary-pushing collaboration. Featuring cameos from Timothy Leary, Sun Ra, Shaun Ryder, Joe Strummer and more, this is at once an unmissable cultural history and a celebration of life lived in the moment, forever in thrall to discovery.

Critics Review

Richard's stories remind me how motivated we all were, how industrious, how much FUN we had
Tracey Thorn
Every bit as fantastic as its cover
John Higgs
Continuous joy in sound and people. The book just makes you feel like getting up and doing something
Wendy Erskine
Richard's creativity is at the heart of who he is. I sometimes feel like I only know a fraction of his story, so this book is an insight into a gentle soul who I have had the pleasure of working alongside for almost two decades
Erol Alkan
This book is a revelation: Mr Richard Norris lived the 20th century and beyond like no one else and this is one of the truly great eyewitness accounts of the heroic years of the counter culture. You need this in your life.
