Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Excellent show this and didn't get the same coverage as 'Rockstage', I think it was only shown in the TVS area, hence the lack of people with a decent copy. I remember seeing the review in Strangled No.12 and hoping it would be broadcast by the ITV network but it never happened. The band should have...

I think there was around 30 people standing watching at the start but towards the end more people seemed to appear and started dancing down the front for the last 4 or 5 songs.

Went to Bathgate last night to see the band for the 1st time and thought they were pretty good (Really thought there would be a bigger crowd though). The only song that sounded really poor was 'Golden Brown' but to my surprise they played a few from 'Meninblack' and 'La Folie'. The band came on to W...

These are my favourite basses for quality, tone and looks! Hand built in England too! JJ used one on the Meninback album apparently! http://walbasspictures.blogspot.co.uk/ He had a wal pro bass that he had in the 'Bear cage' video and I think also used it at the Rainbow gig when Hugh was in prison....

I recently bought a USA Fender Precision as per JJ's old one (as regards colour). Lovely bass.

Great writer. BBC Scotland broadcasted an interview with him at his home in North Queensferry filmed only 3 weeks ago and he was in good spirits and talking about his new book (sounds like a great book) which incredibly has the main character getting terminal cancer (this was before he was diagnosed...

Have you send a PM to ask him Bob?

The Damned, Glasgow Penthouse, 28th December 1983. Brilliant night in a small venue above the Glasgow Apollo.

David Moyes I reckon will be Alex Ferguson's choice. He has done a great job at Everton over the past 11 years (with the limited resources he's had) and (for me) it would be a natural progression for him. Bags of EPL experience, lives locally and is a Scottish manger that Ferguson will probably feel...

always remember the interview hugh did with bono in early 80's for the strangled magazine, the head line "So what is all this no more heroes bullshit" hugh saying how confident bono was when he met him , he told hugh that they would go on to be the biggest band in he world, love um or loa...
