These great shots turned up on The Stranglers memorabilia Facebook page this week. Unseen before by me. What is undisputed in that they show the band playing at The Nashville in West Kensington... but when? Photographer Cindy Stern states March 1976, but Garry Coward-Williams believes that these were taken at a later date.
As mentioned by Jet in the recently posted 'Sideburns' interview from December of 1976, The Nashville was a firm favourite with the band. I have no idea how many gigs the band played at this venue, a venue with a near unparalleled prominance in the story of the London punk scene. There are plenty of Nashville Rooms press ads that feature the band's gigs all through 1976. Regardless of the actual date I am sure you can agree that they are a tremendous addition to the photographic history of The Stranglers.
And now Garry.... that coffee table book...
