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.

Gary Numan Announces an Acoustic Tour for October 2023

 


It's no secret, I was once a huge fan of Gary Numan, in fact I saw him only last week at the Electric Ballroom on one of his countdown dates to his 1000th landmark gig. Whilst a fan I have to say that my preference in the man's material harks back to 1978 to 1980 rather than his current industrial Nine Inch Nails inspired output. For this reason, I got a ticket this morning for his appearance at St John at Hackney Church. The appeal is that much of the 1978 Tubeway Army material that I love lends itself well to an acoustic treatment.

Glasses at the ready Chatts!
