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.

The Big Top Limerick 8th April 2018


The planned Irish dates for March were postponed this year.

 "Due to the severe weather affecting Ireland at present the government have given a directive to close the venues in Munster and Leinster until the weather improves, this has led to the need to reschedule the Dublin, Limerick and Belfast shows. We will have details of the rescheduled dates at 9pm tonight and apologies for any inconvenience caused to everyone planning to attend the gigs"

Dates were rescheduled for April and here is the band's gig in Limerick. Many thanks for fyfe79 for sharing his recording.
