The Stranglers

I know there's a few Stranglers fans on the board, latest news is they're back playing as a four piece again. Paul Roberts who replaced Hugh Cornwell on vocals has quit the band.It was the first gig last night and have heard very positive reviews.Vocals are now shared by JJ and Baz Warne (a mackem) who also plays guitar.

Next gig is at 'Robin2' in Bilston nr Wolverhampton......tickets selling fast !!

i love hugh cornwell's voice. especially on 'always the sun' and 'golden brown.' i can't imagine the band without him, really.

They actually arent that bad. The new/old singer isnt Hugh Cornwell, but at least he never tried to imitate him.

I'd love to see thme here in Texas, but instead we're gettin only Tom Jones :(g

what's wrong with the welsh crooner? i've got loads of his songs on my mp3 player.

I've got a bunch, too, but honestly he is not what I look forward to seeing at the moment. Plus he appears too theatrical and somewhat artificial on stage.

been saying for years that i really must catch them live soon:D .will look out for them

Should av' been strangled years ago - writing songs about drugs. My God (Allah), what sort of message does this send out.

HaHa.......drugs eh...naughty naughty

Dates here: www.bazwarne.com and go to Gigs

I'm off to The Robin 2 at Bilston on the 30th

I saw them four times in 2004. He has made a good job then.

Great band- They're doing a 'New Order' and are re-re-re-re-re-re-re-releasing their greatest hits again shortly...
