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 Islington Assembly Hall 25th January 2024

 

Hugh was on good form on this night putting in a long set in North London. Thanks to Chatts for another quality recording! It was a good career spanning set and of course it was good to be in the company of some good friends on a dull January night. 

On the night I had a brief conversation with Bill Elliot and so I was very shocked to be informed of his passing just a couple of weeks after this gathering. Such a nice chap.

I have posted this hear in 24 bit as received from Chatts. If you want to burn it it is easily converted.
