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.

TV Smith Opera House Winter Gardens Blackpool 9th August 2025

 

So here then is the first Rebellion gig to emerge from the 2025 revelries. And it's a good one, something of a Saturday evening respite from the punk thrash. Once again Tim delivered a career spanning set, from the second Adverts album through to his latest album, 'Handwriting'. There is even an Adverts track in there, 'Fate of Criminals', that he has not revived to date. I have not fact checked this, but then again he should know!

Thought provoking protest songs of the highest order! Cheers to Peter for this one.
