Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

What amazes me is they're a band perhaps in their Autumn years that can still bang out a decent album. And I don't mean just rock n roll, they're still pretty experimental.

I think they admitted that was an influence

Not really a "rock" band but weren't Blondie the first band to do it with Fab Five Freddie?

Like everything else I guess - queuing to get in and spaced apart.

How do they 'organise' the urinals?

I might pop into my local for one tomorrow evening. Heard good reports about how they're organising it.

The bands new album is due next year innit?

Boy From The Plantation is the best one I've heard so far.

Fripp is a great guitarist but I only really like his stuff with Bowie.

It would be more sensible to kick it back an entire year IMO - Can't see gigs happening in March.

How long before the announcement that the final U.K. tour is postponed until... let me think... next March maybe???

Good for the economy though. :shock: Jim No. I have heavily medicated resistant hypertension so it's not in my interests to contract CV19 and any form of social distancing is going to collapse in a packed boozer on a Saturday night - an atmosphere perfect for droplet inhalation and transmission.
