37 years ago this week The Stranglers rolled into this quiet corner of Kent on the 'No More Heroes' tour. Sadly, this is only a partial set (the intro to London Lady is the last thing to be heard before the tape cuts) but what was captured is the band in fine punk form. The playing is brutal, characterised by an aggression that probably peaked for the band a little later in 1978.

'Somebody thinks we want chairs on the stage' says Hugh C cue flying cinema seats. Saw JJB fight bikers outside after the shoe. Going to gigs a lot less polite then..
