Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Not 100% sure yet but will probably be at football earlier on Saturday afternoon so won't be able to make early meet but hoping to be up at Glasgow Central Station for half five.
Any chance someone could PM me a mobile contact no so that I can keep track of where everyone is


Cheers

Boo, no Glasgow on tour dates, so looks like I'll have to venture over the the east and go to Edinburgh.

I've listened to album twice now and I'm pretty impressed. It passed the exercise bike test. When you are cycling away and a song is mediocre at best a couple of mins can seem like an eternity, so the fact that it fairly flew is proof enough for me that it's an enjoyable listen. My faves are auto-in...

Just finished reading Babylon's Burning and wished I hadn't bothered. How can you produce a 600 odd page book on punk music and only mention The Stranglers as an aside, and find practically nothing good to say about The Clash. The author clearly had a Sex Pistols fixation. Then when he went onto US ...

They were damned good. Very entertaining gig. Texas Terribomb were big on volume and energy but a bit lacking in the tune department. The bloke standing next to me looked a bit worried when she came right up to the bar, climbed onto the balustrade and handed him the mike, but she wasn't wanting us t...

They didn't need to go to Onthank scheme to film it. All that would be required is some editing of any CCTV footage from Kilmarnock Bus station. Anytime I'm there later in the evening I feel as though I should be with a bodyguard. Every run down de-industrialised town has areas like it. It's just a ...

Sounds like a great set list, looking forward to the gig tonight.

Was anyone on here at Falmouth or Bristol gigs? Haven't seen any reviews as yet, planning to go to the Glasgow gig next Friday.

Never seen Straighten Out but heard nothing but glowing reviews so will be up for going to the Glasgow gig on Fri 11th June.

A good time was had by all. It was good to meet up with people from the site and thought the gig itself was tremendous, even my step-son was impressed so looks like another convert. Paid the price for singing along (very badly) as I nearly lost my voice the next day so spent Saturday speaking in a w...

Also caught a great show on tv about the Pixies, loud quiet loud, I think it was called about their comeback tour. Had some great footage of them playing most of their hits live, only disappointment was no debaser or velouria.

I thought No Country for Old Men was excellent, and stuck very faithfully to the book, which I usually consider to be a good thing. The Coen brothers are pretty reliable when it comes to quality movies. The Big Lebowski is sheer genius. Last movie I saw at the cinema was Avatar. Plot wise its nowt t...
