Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live 1976 to the Present

Welcome to Aural Sculptors, a blog aimed at bringing the music of The Stranglers to as wide an audience as possible. Whilst all of the various members of the band that have passed through the ranks since 1974 are accomplished studio musicians, it is on stage where the band have for me had their biggest impact.

As a collector of their live recordings for many years I want to share some of the better quality material with other fans. By selecting the higher quality recordings I hope to present The Stranglers in the best possible light for the benefit of those less familiar with their material than the hardcore fan.

Needless to say, this site will steer well clear of any officially released material. As well as live gigs, I will post demos, radio interviews and anything else that I feel may be of interest.

In addition, occasionally I will post material by other bands, related or otherwise, that mean a lot to me.

Your comments and/or contributions are most welcome. Please email me at adrianandrews@myyahoo.com.

Hugh Cornwell Borders Bookshop Oxford Street London 30th November 2001

Here we have a short in-store appearance from Hugh at Borders Bookshop which existed 20 or so years ago in Oxford Street. Back then he spend some time being interviewed and playing in book shops and at literary events as he promoted his book 'Song By Song'. Accompanied by co-writer, Jim Drury, he played a handful of acoustic Stranglers' songs at these events.
