I, Ludicrous

I, Ludicrous

I, Ludicrous is a two piece popular music ensemble formed in London in 1985 by John Procter (b. 1957) and David Rippingale ("Will Hung") (b. 1956). The band sprang to notoriety at the end of 1987 when their debut flexi release ('Preposterous Tales') reached Number 11 in John Peel's Festive Fifty.

I, Ludicrous are still producing music today and play occasional live dates, primarily in London.
