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.

Sham 69 and Anti-Nowhere League The Junction Cambridge 31st May 2024

 


Gunta has slipped off to Cologne with her mate for the day, so rather than sit at home twiddling my thumbs I thought I'd head up to Cambridge to take in a double headline gig of Sham 69 and Anti-Nowhere League. 

I had seen Sham a few weeks back at the Vive Le Rock awards in Islington, but such was the nature of the event that Sham played a short five song set. First up though were the League, always good fun in my book.

These days it is noticeable that Jim doesn't engage with the audience as much as he used to, but then again perhaps that is such a bad this since when he was talking to the crowd back in the day it was mostly imploring then to stop fighting!
