Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Is anyone else going to Wolverhampton on 4 August?

Healthy Junkies, three times as it happens. Great band that still plays tiny venues.

Scotland Calling, starting in about 20 minutes. I’ve completely lost track of who is on, given all the reschedules but I think Cockney Rejects are headlining. Skids, Rezillos, U.K. Subs might also be involved. Guess I’ll find out later…

Millie Manders and the Shut up - new album.

New addition- John Otway is playing a free concert in St Albans this Sunday. He claims it will be his 4,990th show and is working up to playing his 5,000th at Shepherd’s Bush some time. Wanted to see him live for a while, but I can’t help thinking that once will be enough.

Yes it’s a real grower.

So where does that leave “From the Jam”? Genuine question, not being facetious/smart.

Someone told me it had been hacked - not sure if that is the case but it might explain the missing pages.

His drumming sounds more muscular (to my non-drummer’s ears) than Jet did. Didn’t Jet play in a jazz band at some point, or was he just an avid listener of jazz music? Either way that might have impacted his playing to make it more subtle.
