Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I've an idea I saw the Reading 1983 contract on the FB memorabilia group, and it was for £7.5k, so you can extrapolate from there. A couple of years ago Roland Gift got circa 50k for one of the festivals. JJ mentioned 6 figures for that US festival they're about to do Jim Sent from my Pixel 6 using...

I doubt JJ does it purely for the "art" I imagine he takes a fair wedge (which will top up his pension). Get real peeps

Thankfully Hugh seems to have stopped moaning at the audience for talking or taking pictures when he is playing - that WAS annoying. For a while he came across as a right git who had no respect for the few people who turned up to watch him. Also, the phase he went through of "if you want to he...

Paul has a great voice but his tone was wrong and some of his stage antics were truly embarrassing,Baz does have charisma and does a great job,he's also a very friendly bloke when you meet him,but Paul was better on 3 songs SLG,Sun and GB,the rest awful,compare the version of Sewer 97 to the one th...

They'd be the headliner as they would have original members.

The poster blurb has been updated.... "An evening of The Stranglers with Baz Warne & Friends (with JJ's "blessing"). Includes meat raffle and hamper. Mini bus will be departing at 2pm prompt. Mavis has laid on a lovely packed lunch for us all to enjoy on the journey to the venue&q...

The band name becomes a franchise! Could it come to this? 2007 "Bill Pinkney, the last survivor of the original members of the The Drifters, died yesterday (July 4). He was 81." 2024 The Drifters are back on tour in the UK performing all their classic hits including ‘Saturday Night at the...

I don't really think Baz has done anything to be fair he's just more popular than Paul in my opinion. Exactly. PR got a hard time not only because he followed Hugh, but because he refused to be anything other than himself and put his own spin on things. In hindsight, this is something to be commend...

Yeah this is what I always find weird. This tour should've included a lot more post Hugh songs IMO to make it interesting and to also pay respect to Baz. Imagine if Hugh played a gig of mainly MKI Stranglers. Even I'd be "C'mon Hugh! Let's get off the nostalgia wagon" Jim And there always ...

I think throwing in the Fortnum and Masons hamper has swayed it. We're over 25% in favour now!


I can see the poster....

I need to change my vote! Is a nice sit down and a cup of tea thrown in? Jim A lot of the yes votes are also "if they were playing down my street" style answers. Jim Ok, Who would go and see the Stranglers without JJ but a mini bus pick up and drop off and a lovely spread during golden bro...
