Great performance
Hugh on guitar with a great drummer and bass player. They were very tight with fantastic energy throughout. Highly recommended.

Hugh Cornwell, Roadmender Northampton, Northampton - 30th November 2024
A great night in spite of the lack of the Primitives support.
I was really going to see the Primitives who were the original support act for this gig but had to pull out due to the ill health of their singer Tracy. Ex TC were a reasonable replacement and people forget how many hits and great songs XTC have. The new band worked hard along with the original drummer to reproduce most of those 'hits' and 'near misses'. I wondered how Hugh might manage performing Stranglers songs without keyboards but I needn't have worried ! The excellent bass player simply played the keyboard melody to 'Strange little girl' and we were off ! The drummer was great too and a Doctor apparently ! He was an excellent and charismatic front man and Hugh's own solo songs were excellent and peppered throughout the set along with underrated Stranglers gems like 'Skin deep'. The highlight of the set was undoubtedly the beautiful, 'Always the Sun' which had everyone singing along. A great night !

Hugh Cornwell exceptional
Hugh Cornwell hasn’t lost his touch to entertain his fans. With a mixture from his solo career to his time at the Stranglers he plays for nearly 2 hours with a brilliant voice that has lost none of its power . The venue is small therefore intimate and it feels special to be able to see and hear such a rock legend . Don’t stop cos we can’t get enough of this amazing entertainer

Hugh Cornwell is a true British music icon, best known as the unmistakable voice and razor-sharp guitarist behind The Stranglers. As the band's frontman and chief songwriter during their most influential years, he played a pivotal role in shaping the UK punk and new wave movements with his biting lyrics and dark, melodic sound.
With The Stranglers, Cornwell crafted era-defining hits like "Peaches," "Golden Brown," "No More Heroes," and "Strange Little Girl," blending punk aggression with sophisticated songwriting. His tenure with the band saw them evolve from snarling punk outsiders to one of the most innovative and enduring acts of their time.
Since departing The Stranglers in 1990, Cornwell has carved out a highly respected solo career, releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums that showcase his signature wit, storytelling, and genre-blurring musicianship. His live shows are a testament to his enduring talent, featuring both solo material and classic Stranglers tracks performed with raw energy and precision.
With a career spanning over five decades, Hugh Cornwell remains a fearless artist, constantly evolving while staying true to the sharp songwriting and uncompromising spirit that made him a legend.
