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.

Chelsea Acklam Hall North Kennsington 8th November 1980 and Klubfoot (Clarendon Hotel) Hammersmith 6th February 1988 - ARTWORK ADDED

 


Here is another anniversary gig - Chelsea at the Acklam Hall on 8th November 1980. I originally posted this back in 2020 without any accompanying artwork. The anniversary bit is a short set from the band who played as part of a noon to 6pm free event. According to the NME listing the running order was as follows:

Vince Pie & The Crumbs
Entire Cosmos
Voletones
Blue Midnight
Chelsea

The audio of the gig can be located here.
