Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Seen him in concert last year doing the first album as well as a couple of Smiths and Electronic numbers and was very impressed. I have to say his second album for me is a little disappointing though. But each to their own.

Looking forward to seeing the Carpets in Preston later this month. I also think the album is very good. I can also hear subtle Stranglers melodies in some of the tracks. Our Time sounds like something of '10' with the keyboard running through it.

We’ll be doing some gigs around the release of that. We’ve almost ...

Saw them at Clitheroe on Saturday night. Sold out weeks ago. Excellent night great to hear the entire All Mod Cons album plus some old favourites. They announced that they are doing an acoustic set and a Q & A next March in Clitheroe and following that up with a tour of Setting Sons. Russell Hasting...

He says in the book that he saw the band at Bingley Hall around 1978 and whilst standing at the front wrote down all of JJ's kit on stage then went and bought it. Loved the JJ sound and the Simonon look. Didn't have good things to say about the road crew though when supporting the band at The Rainbo...
