What Is Still Crazy About?

Once hailed as the greatest rock band of the ’70s, Strange Fruit lived the excess‑filled lifestyle of groupies, drugs and internal tension, losing their frontman to an overdose before their dramatic end when lightning struck their outdoor festival stage. Two decades later, former keyboardist Tony, aided by ex‑manager Karen, seeks out the scattered members to mount a reunion tour and recapture the magic they once commanded.

The band Strange Fruit performs at the 1977 Wisbech Rock Festival, and Hughie Case (Billy Connolly) explains that, driven by the pursuit of “fame, fortune and fornication” — and the drug overdose of their original singer, Keith Lovell — this is their last performance. After a heated set, egos flare and the group ends the show early, frustrated by competing ambitions and the lack of self-control that once doomed them.
