Their FB page has them as a covers band.
Stranglers songs in there unsurprisingly.

Yeah all the usual Paul Roberts cover fodder (not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with that!)

The stunning line-up includes Ezmay Grace, Fford5 with ex-Stranglers singer Paul Roberts and sea shanties from The Cobweb Crew. Don’t forget the Barrel Border Morris Group who will be keeping us entertained between performers.

Our Paul has always been into doing things like this - the band Bowie PR, and even during strangler days La Vida Santana. Saw them once and even though I am not into Santana much I really enjoyed it. We tend to forget sometimes PR is a very good percussionist. Listen to And the Boat Sails By or Anything Can Happen for example. Anyway, what I wanted to say is its all nothing more than an honest way to make a living. Fair play.

Yes Paul is a really good percussionist and he can play drums to,he used to do Congas on Ice Queen live and Instead of this,he seems happy with his lot, doing what he loves doing.Lt kudu.

I just think it's a bit of a shame he didn't carry on releasing albums either solo or with a new band because he's got a great voice.

Has anyone actually heard or seen them.

Paul is a great performer and singer and seems well suited for this kind of stuff.
I think his style is a bot OTT and is more cabaret. He's not terribly subtle in my opinion. And that isn't to be disparaging, certain acts need that "window Twankie" approach to get it going.

There. I've said it. Paul Roberts is the Widow Twankie of Rock!
