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.

Culzean Castle South Ayrshire 12th August 2005

 

Thanks to malcolm769 for sharing this gig that took place in the fantastic setting of Culzean Castle that overlooks the Firth of Clyde in South Ayrshire. At this point in time Paul was coming close to the end of his tenure as a Strangler. By my counting as the reverberations of 'No More Heroes' faded away into the summer air on this night, he would play only nine further dates with the band.

    Thanks for the boot! It's a shame Paul quit the band when he was finally fitting in as a strangler. By the way do you have a recording from when the stranglers played at konserthuset örebro 1978? It's when the band returned to Sweden after they had been chased out of the country by raggare six months earlier. Then they took thier revenge by destroying a hotel room and causing havoc at a restaurant. The scandinavian leg of the tour was then promptly cancelled.

    I was at this gig. A great show, little did I know this was Paul's last show in Scotland with the band. Kim wylde ,today & tpau were support. Think this was an early version of the retrofest 80s festivals.
