Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

we're running some transport to the Manchester gig from the Blackburn area. it'll probably be a large minibus/small coach on a non profit basis, so I'm guessing it'll be between 8-10 quid each. the rough idea is set off about 5.30ish, a quick stop off at the first pub we hit in Manchester and then t...

I heard he's had a throat problem and had an operation, but he has recovered. he started his set just singing into the mike with no accompaniment, it was a bit brave because his voice isn't 100% yet, but he pulled it off. was talking last night about the gig, he really is a presence on stage, a magn...

no, it was labelled as an 'acoustic club tour' which meant there was fish, a microphone, a keyboard player and and guitarist, no drums. but £17.50 for a ticket pity really.

not the type that swims, but the ex singer from marillion. I saw him play live on wednesday night in my local pub (royal hotel, Great Harwood), I wouldn't have gone to see him otherwise, but it's not often that you get suchlike in so small a venue.

was out walking in the lake district a couple of days ago and saw a raven. bloody big thing, didn't know what it was at first until it flew above us, the sillowette was unmistakable. strange noise they make, not like a crow, but more like a grunting pig. it circled above us a few times, grunting bad...
