Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

A great read, really enjoyed that. It’s great doing something like that isn’t it? something that you really enjoy. Best job in the world, playing in The Stranglers and fair play to the fella. No doubt some Bell-Pipe will slag it to fuck. Yeah but it’s not The Stranglers is it? blah blah blah, it’s ...

This is a great read. This part says it all, and much respect to Baz for writing it. "We get to The Raven, and JJ takes to the mic… All tour long at this point, he’s been dedicating this song to Dave and Jet…a lovely thing to do…and it’s been taking the roof off. Tonight, it seems to have a spe...

A couple of weeks ago I met a mate of mine who was out with his new girlfriend, his first in a several months. Then the other day I met him again with another new girlfriend.... I said to him "Your girlfriends are like buses" He said "I know, nothing for ages then two come along at th...

I went to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and I think Edinburgh Usher Hall edged it as it was the second night and the band seemed more relaxed, and also, as a venue it was awesome. There are quite clearly various opinions on this forum about the band, but if you want to see a band playing Stranglers so...

Well that was fucking ace, on the train ready for a kebab and home, roll on tomorrow for the Usher Hall.

On my way for a 1415hrs kick off.
Meeting my cousin for some light refreshments before the gig.
I hope all those going have a great day.
Oh...then the same again tomorrow for Edinburgh

I saw Thin Lizzy, without Phil Lynott, but with all the other original members (Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson & Brian Downey) I couldn't think of a better way to enjoy Thin Lizzy music live, without Phil Lynott. In the same way, if you want to hear Stranglers music live, you will see The Strangl...

"And my little grandkids, aged two and three, who are the real stars now. Don’t tell anyone, but I’m a big softy really.” Personally I found that the band members have always had very private personal lives, which is absolutely right, so hearing that JJ is a grandad came as a surprise, but, yep...

With regards to the "wilderness years" I thought it was sad to hear that Dave turned to JJ around the time of WiR and said "I'm don't feel like being a Strangler at the moment" (quote isn't correct as I don't have the book to hand but it was similar to that). Jim When Hugh left,...
