4 December, 2022 Review by Paul H Birch. It’s near enough jam-packed here at The Robin tonight. On stage there are three figures decked out in black (pretty much like everyone else in rock ‘n roll these days). The rhythm section is half his age, if not more, but Hugh Cornwell looks in surprisingly good nick. ‘Coming […]
John Jylanne From the Glasgow Apollo on November 23, 1981. Maybe the best live recording of the Stranglers. This quietly came out on an indie label called Alchemy in 2002 or so. Tacked on 2 tracks from this show at the end, but the quality is a couple notches lower.
By Dave Jennings -November 29, 2022 Hugh CornwellLive Rooms, ChesterSunday, November 20th, 2022 A packed room on a dreary November Sunday evening, but still a sense of expectancy hangs in the air.

21 February, 2022 The Stranglers finally stopped off at Birmingham’s O2 Academy as part of their much-delayed Final Full Tour. Following the sad passing of Dave Greenfield in May 2020 the title now includes In Memory of Dave, and although the show was mostly an up-tempo celebration of the past 40-odd years there were also moments of poignant reflection. […]

14 November, 2022 Actor, author and cricketer, vocalist Hugh Cornwell is a man of many talents, but he’s perhaps best known as former singer with original punks, the Stranglers. That band quickly outgrew the three-minute constraints of punk to become one of that eras most distinctive bands. Hugh has carried that idiosyncratic style into his wonderfully eclectic […]
