@@Rugmunchersauce3 Thanks for your comment. It was my decision to close the shop as it had been open for 25 years and I'd had enough. As I said, lots of good memories though. X

I was a 6 year old kid when the Stranglers start making music. Now at 52 i try to collect every album they brought out in vinyl. Hugh is a great musician.I really love his music.

Catchy as hell. The main song writing talent when he was in The Stranglers.

[@celticwarrior1365]

Lost interest in Hugh and the Stranglers when he left the band. But I now feel (2017 ) that I have done both an injustice by not following their separate paths! Used to have the album "Nosferatu," the result of Hugh's collaboration with Robert Williams and loved it! Sorry that I gave it away!

Great music, fun video..elements of Mr Ben and Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns!

Hooverdam and T&T are my favorite Cornwell albums, they were part of the soundtrack of years as a student

[@VivaZeBone]

So I bought myself a time machine in 2001. Went back to 1977 and saw The Stranglers at the Roundhouse. Then for a giggle whizzed forwards to 2015, watched this video. I.....I.....I dunno....

[@adrianlee4077]

I was at the roundhouse in 1977!- skived off school in the Midlands to come down - the dictators supported, everybody hated them as I remember

[@VivaZeBone]

@@adrianlee4077 What a lucky sod you are then, mate. In 1977 I was 2! Fair play pal. Tell us all more about the night FFS!

[@adrianlee4077]

I remember turning up at the roundhouse as a 15 year old lad and waited on the steps - Dave’s keyboards arrived with a roadie and I was surprised how scruffy they looked - this was my first gig so I was very nervous, but excited st the same time. I had no thoughts of whether I would catch the last train home or even if my parents would be worried when I didn’t arrive from school. I made my way down to the front and remember handsome dick Manitoba from the dictators snarling at the audience. It seemed everybody hated him and his band so he was covered ion showed if spit - when the Stranglers came on, it was absolutely brilliant I stood right at the front where JJ was, he was so cool doing all his karate kicks. What amused me was Dave playing a solo with one hand whilst drinking two pints of beer/lager at the same time - he did the same thing at the Godiva festival Cov- 40 years later

The Stranglers should of had a sabbatical in 1990. Each of them should of spent some time writing, reflecting, chilling, whatever, and then reformed in 1992/93. And written a new album. Just my opinion.

[@jayarnottcoaching]

This Stranglers lost their creative, ethereal edge when Hugh left and were left with a more pub band sound. No wonder JJ was doing his nut. This is up there with that feel, true Hugh! 👏

[@FromaTwistedMind]

Ha Ha ! Who`d have thunk it ? Hugh used to watch.... and IS Mr Benn .... as if by magic the shop keeper appeared * ping* !!! followed by a visit to changing rooms, and he magically appears in a new dimension - BRILLIANT

Should have got the girl Hugh. Nice homage to Mr Benn.

[@jasonfury1]

I’d hypothesis that artists from Hugh’s mould and generation put more emphasis on trying to get to a kind of truth then indulging in self fulfilling fantasy to pretext of making Art. He,s not Ed Sheran you know.

[@Trotskyxx]

Agreed... starts promisingly, but then the familiar flaws of HC's recent song writing emerge: weak, repetitive choruses ('Totem and Taboo' anyone?), and awkward, clunky, random-sounding guitar solos. This song would have probably benefited from the energy and the visceral aversion to self-indulgence of a certain strong minded bassist, from the quality control of a drummer with an eye/ear for effective rock music, and from a certain keyboard player whose melodic input adds another dimension even to average songs...

[@whitetigress7448]

Oh, don't be a poo. (I shouldn't have rewarded your bad behavior by responding. Shame on me.)

[@angrypossumsx1259]

FFS people Hugh left the Stranglers almost 30 YEARS AGO get over it. As for the so-called “strong minded bassist with an aversion to self indulgence” what a load of cobblers. Check out JJs cocktail hour solo effort and (though he’s definitely mellowed with age) the many stories of his arrogance and aggressive elitist attitude toward others. The “effective rock music drummer with an eye/ear” (sounds like the punchline of a certain very un-PC oldie but goodie) must be hitting 80 and has long since hung up his skins. Whether you like Hugh Cornwall’s post-Stranglers work or not at least he’s doing it instead of being little more than a tribute band.
