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.

Hugh Cornwell The Booking Hall Dover 10th March 2022

Here's another great contribution from Chatts. Hugh playing at The Booking Hall in Dover (a venue that I have not been to but one that seems to be getting some good acts appearing on its stage) in 2022. Sets are split between solo material and the other band. Interestingly, The Stranglers' set opens with 'Dagenham Dave'.... no mention of vocalist Dave though.

I have uploaded it here in its original 24 bit form. If you want to burn it the files can easily and for free be converted to 16 bit for burning (I use Jet Audio).
