Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I think the final nail in his coffin was JJ & BW writing together etc in a cottage down wherever it was .... And Paul's stuff was rejected. (Did I read PR pushed a tape/cd thought the door?) Yep, that's correct. What I do know was that there was a padded envelope on the doormat one morning with...

I dunno, god forbid that a band has a frontman that can sing and get into a performance...

Jim I think this is done now.Major Kudu

Seconded

I'm currently in Newcastle and it's been pretty good so far. No sign of Stan though

So much negativity on here, your supposed to be fans not haters. Being a fan of something doesn't mean you have to accept everything that they do, though.
