Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

It would be very interesting to know how much their festival fee is! I've an idea I saw the Reading 1983 contract on the FB memorabilia group, and it was for £7.5k, so you can extrapolate from there. Except that every festival is different, for example I've heard that Glastonbury don't pay the mass...

Yes he is proud of his half a century and why not

Re: Tour Epitaph

JJ could do better financially and creatively on his own as would any other talented and creative song writer. Do you think? I'm not sure whether any solo album he put out now would do all that well for him financially, other than with interest from Stranglers fans, which isn't really a big market....

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?

As I've done with every other line-up change since I first saw them, I'd go along and have a look, and see what it's like. I'd prefer to decide whether they're worth seeing by going to see them than by what some other people I've never met think.

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

Jesus is up on the cross, and he's calling out "Peter, Peter". Word gets back to his disciples, Peter goes to see visit him but unfortunately cannot get past the Roman guard. He tries, and tries, and tries some more, and the guard gets so annoyed with him that he chops off Peter's right ar...

Mr Sprats 21st Century Popular Motets, weren't they a barber shop quartet from Bristol? Before my time, but the name sort-of rings a bell.

Re: RAH

Plus, last time they filmed a gig it didn't go so well, so they ended up releasing one that had already been broadcast online with a few of the "new" snippets as DVD extras. When was this? It was the Ruby tour in 2014, they filmed in Manchester but had all sorts of technical problems with...

Re: RAH

Apparently there wasn't any cameras so it wasn't recorded for a DVD which is a bit disappointing. I have read elsewhere that the Royal Albert Hall charge a lot of money for filming at their venue, so perhaps that's why. It's a pity they didn't film one of the gigs, even if the cost at the Albert Ha...

I don't remember that one? 🤔
I seem to remember being told there were only 25 made, but I can't verify that. The sleeves zip off.

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.

I still regret noy buying one of those Stranglers bomber jackets SIS had for sale in the mid eighties! I've got the Aural Sculpture tour jacket that I've never worn - someone said they wanted it ages ago, but if they've changed their mind I'm open to offers for it. Not quite as tacky IMO as the ori...

Re: SLF 2024 Tour

I've only seen them once in 2022 at the Stone Valley festival. They're ok..I never really got into their material but a good live band to see from that era.. I don't know their music either, but I went to see them a couple of times when I had a local venue in walking distance and enjoyed both gigs ...
