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.

Weyfest Tilford Farnham Surrey 30th August 2013

 


I thought this was one I had posted before, but maybe not (unless I neglected to tag an earlier posting). This was a Giants era festival that the band played down in deepest, darkest Surrey. I didn't go, but looking at the line up for 2013 it would seem that it was a small festival with a big draw. I did look it up but the website only reflects the 2024 festival, whilst the two most recent posts on their Facebook page are apologies for the non-appearance of the festival in the 2025 or 2026 calendar. So, like so many other small (affordable) festivals this one too would appear to have gone to the wall.

Sound on this one is not too bad considering that it occurred outdoors during British Summertime!

Thanks to Meanie for the artwork.
