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.

Capitol Theatre Aberdeen 23rd October 1986

 

The Stranglers in the Granite City in October 1986 with a typical 'Dreamtime' tour set. As is to be expected when north of the boarder Hugh both baits and berates the Scottish audience, first on a linguistic matter in his dreadful Scottish accent and then pulling up someone for spitting at the band. After all this is 1986 not 1976 and there is a new danger very much in people's minds (maybe with the exception of the gobbing Aberdonian!).... Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome or A.I.D.S.
