Hope you managed to catch him mateLow Down Low wrote: β20 Feb 2022, 5:33pmYeah, might have to plan a trip soon as don't see him heading my way anytime in the near future. Just hope it's not a relapse or anything so serious.white man wrote: β20 Feb 2022, 5:14amCancelled Manchester last night. Unwell. If he gets back on his feet I would make every effort to get out and see him.Low Down Low wrote: β18 Feb 2022, 7:20am
Two absolute legends. Wilko is amazing just to stay going, really want to see him one more time while it's possible. Even a sub par Wilko is alright by me.
Cheers.
Sounds excellent mate. Looking forward to the new album.NoMoreHugh wrote: β24 Nov 2022, 9:35amHugh Cornwell last night was brilliant and he played in a very small club the size of a pub. I think the audience must have been between 60-80 people so really close and personal. He was really on form and sounded brilliant. He played all the songs i wanted to hear off the promoted album and a good chunk off his back catalog as a solo artist even Nosferatu got a playing. The only two stranglers songs i hadn't heard played before when he was in the band were both instrumentals and thats waltzinblack and Turn The Centuries Turn. It was fascinating and for anyone who is familiar with those two songs will realise how difficult it must be to do renditions of those two when you are just a Bass , Guitar and drums outfit. Its Hugh being typical genius and experimental and happy to face a challenge. Both songs sounded brilliant
A great Stranglers set was played and very enjoyable indeed.

Definitely worth a listen mate there are some outstanding tracks but then I have really got in to his cryptic lyrics and quirky songs latelyMarky Dread wrote: β24 Nov 2022, 5:51pmSounds excellent mate.

Saw Hugh and band the other night, small front room venue. Great performance, good to hear a snapshot of his solo work and then a set of Stranglers songs, mostly first album. Must admit he seemed a bit distant, I wonder if he'd heard about Jet's passing the night before but wasn't letting on, or end of the tour ennui/tiredness.NoMoreHugh wrote: β24 Nov 2022, 9:35amHugh Cornwell last night was brilliant and he played in a very small club the size of a pub.

I'd have liked to see CRP but I've pretty much sworn off arena shows no matter who it is.
She played The Greek theater in Berkeley which is a smaller open air, no reserved seating venue. Tends to inspire a more fun crowd.
They played at our baseball stadium here not too long ago. I think the only one I'd break my rule for would be Kylie.matedog wrote: β09 Dec 2022, 1:57pmShe played The Greek theater in Berkeley which is a smaller open air, no reserved seating venue. Tends to inspire a more fun crowd.
Understood though. Biggest i've done was Taylor Swift and Beyonce at Levi's Stadium (separate shows). Stadium gigs were obviously massive, but they had a really high level of theatricality that made it not so bad. Seeing someone like Pearl Jam in a stadium would be pretty dreadful (not sure they play stadiums).
Great stuff I'm really pleased you enjoyed it sounds like my experience was similar to yours.Hugh's work is a very slow build up for appreciation i found but once you are hooked its really addictive and i like its quirkiness and the lyrics really work. I was just glad he didn't try and just be the stranglers but solo.Toppers Boppers wrote: β09 Dec 2022, 11:03amSaw Hugh and band the other night, small front room venue.
