Intimate Strangers (2)

Raise The Dragon was a duo from Scotland (Richard Spellman - vocal & Sean Lyons -guitar) who released one only Ep before quickly changing their name to Intimate Strangers to come out with an album in 1985 on IRS Records. Mark Fox and Les Nemes from Haircut 100 played on this album. Sean has played the guitar with such diverse artists as George Clinton, Robyn Hitchcock and Brian Kennedy, toured in '98 with French star Patricia Kaas and even played banjo on "5-6-7-8" by Steps (a career high?). He has collaborated with Stewart Copeland on work included in Rumble Fish and Highlander 3 amongst other films, and David Bowie recorded one of his first songs "Criminal World" on the "Let's Dance" album. Back in 1976 he was a member of art rock band Metro together with Peter Godwin before forming Raise The Dragon.
