JJ Burnel Interview On Radcliffe And Maconie BBC 6 Music 30th January 2015

The last post was a BBC Radio interview some 32 years distant in which Hugh plugged the forthcoming 'Feline' tour. So now lets bring things bang up to date with a promo interview for the 'March On' tour broadcast yesterday on Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie's BBC 6 Music radio show.

This in my opinion is far better promo that going onto BBC 1's 'Breakfast', whose presenters have a history of conducting appalling, poorly researched interviews. I know it has a wider audience, but quality over quantity wins out for me every time.

As for Radcliffe and Maconie, these blokes know their stuff, like Kid Jensen in the previous post, these two live for music. I mean blimey, part way through this interview Mark Radcliffe informs us that the first time he saw the band play was at the Squat in Manchester in September 1976, whilst Stuart Maconie came to the band late on 4th June 1977 at Wigan Casino!

Excellent listening.....

Hugh Cornwell Interview BBC Radio 1 (Kid Jensen Show) 4th January 1983

'Look, would you mind cradling that trimphone, I'm trying to communicate here!'

Ok, here's a great interview from January 1983 in which Hugh discusses a range of topics with a Radio 1 rarity at the time, a DJ who actually had a genuine interest in music, David 'Kid' Jensen. In this 30 minute discussion, 'Feline' features heavily (Hugh puts the musical style down to the band's need to get back to meaningful communication in this age when people can only interact by phone. Christ, he must be beside himself in 2015!!).

Other topics on evening's agenda are:

• Celia Gollin
• The Black Documentary
• Hugh's musical influences
• Acting
• The band's musical direction
• Playing Ireland and
• Chrissie Hynde

Manic Street Preachers Simon Mayo's Drivetime BBC Radio 2 15th September 2010

I know that there is quite a considerable cross over interest in the Manics among The Stranglers fan-base, so here is a short two song radio session from a few years back recorded in the month of the release of their ' Postcards From a Young Man' album.

The Lurkers The Brook Southampton 28th January 2009

Locating anniversary gigs in the collection for the month of January can be a tough task, it just isn't the best time to tour I suppose as would be punters nurse their wallets after the Christmas financial mugging!

Nevertheless I have managed to dig one out from six years ago. On this night Buzzcocks rolled into Southampton as part of a themed tour in which they ran through not only 'Another Music In A Different Kitchen' but 'Also Love Bites', two stand out albums of the punk era. On the tour they were ably assisted in support by The Lurkers, fronted by Stranglers stalwart Arturo Bassick.

I saw them the following night at The Junction in Cambridge and very enjoyable it was too.

So, here is that Lurkers set for you.
