After attending a Sex Pistols concert at the Castle Cinema in Caerphilly in 1976, Harrington befriended the bass player Glen Matlock. He then arranged gigs for punk bands in his home town and befriended Jean-Jacques Burnel of The Stranglers before leaving for London where he worked for Malcolm McLaren and formed a punk band called The Moors Murderers with Soo Catwoman. Additional members included future Pretenders frontwoman Chrissie Hynde, future Psychedelic Furs drummer Vince Ely, future Clash drummer Topper Headon and The Kid (who was formerly in Adam and the Ants, as Mark Ryan). They recorded a song called “Free Hindley”. After several gigs, the band split up around early 1978.

In 1978, before their success with Visage, Strange and Visage partner Rusty Egan began to make a name for themselves as a nightclub host and DJ respectively. They began organising “Bowie nights” on Tuesdays at Billy’s club in Soho, before taking over Tuesdays at the Blitz wine bar in London’s Covent Garden in 1979. Adhering to Strange’s strict door policy of admitting only “the weird and wonderful”, the club took off and became an essential location in the rise of what would become the New Romantic movement. Strange’s door policy was so strict that he famously once refused admittance to Mick Jagger, though Strange would later claim this was because the club was filled to capacity on the night in question and they had already been warned about breaching fire regulations. Following the Blitz, Strange and Egan then fronted the “Club for Heroes” in London’s Baker Street on Tuesdays and Thursdays in 1981, before moving to the Camden Palace nightclub in 1982 for two years, which became one of the most famous venues of the era, attracting major celebrities on a regular basis. Their next club venture, “The Playground” in 1984, was less successful.

His parents split when he was as a young child.
