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.

The Weekend In Black The Convention Camden Centre 20th November 2011 'The Missing Sessions'



At a friend's request, I held back on posting this but after the passage of 13 years I am posting it now (actually, this has long been traded, so it is no great rarity). In 2011 the Camden Centre in London's Kings Cross plaed host to the 'Weekend In Black', the lastest and to date last Stranglers' Convention. Taking place over two days, some of the material aired was released through official channels, but not all of it. So, the two CDs in this post complete the musical component of the weekend... 'The Missing Sessions'.
