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.

Beach Ballroom Aberdeen 26th March 2015


To mark last night's kicking off of the 50th anniversary tour in Glasgow I thought I'd post a Scottish gig. Since all of my Baz era Glasgow gigs have already been posted to the site Aberdeen will serve as a good substitute. It was a great tour in bitter weather (see picture here). The set was great with 'Longships' preceding 'The Raven' and a vocal work out for our Dave in the form of 'Four Horsemen'. With the assistance of the Beach Ballroom' sprung floor, on this night the joint was indeed jumping!

To all in Scotland this weekend have a fine time indeed!
