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 And Jet Black Interview (Capital Radio London 20th September 1977)

 


Another interview, perhaps a little more obscure this time. It's Tuesday 20th September 1977 on the eve of the start of the 'No More Heroes' tour. The band have just retreated from Sweden after their run in with the Raggare. Tonight they are in conversation with Tony Myatt on his 'Late Show' broadcast on London's commercial Capital Radio station. 

In a mix of DJ lead interview and radio phone in, Hugh and Jet discuss their rumble in Sweden, the recording of the second album, the enigmatic Celia and The bloody Doors influence!
