Legendary songwriter and original Stranglers member Hugh Cornwell has announced a run of UK dates this November, accompanied by special guests The Courettes.
Kicking off at Epic Studios in Norwich on 6th November, Hugh Cornwell brings his ‘Come and Get Some’ tour to the UK this autumn. The singer and songwriter will be playing favourites from his time with The Stranglers as well as a range of solo material, including his 1979 album ‘Nosferatu’ in full. The record saw Cornwell teaming up with Captain Beefheart’s Robert Williams to create a record as gothic as the film it takes its name from.
Throughout November, Cornwell will make stops at beloved venues up and down the country including Hangar 34 in Liverpool, Concorde 2 in Brighton and Islington Assembly in the capital. He’ll be joined on the road by retro-inspired punk rock duo The Courettes, helming from Denmark and Brazil.
The full list of dates can be found below. Tickets are on sale here.
About Hugh Cornwell
‘Golden Brown’, ‘Strange Little Girl’, ‘Always The Sun’… sound familiar? All big hits, all great songs, all penned and performed by Hugh Cornwell, the songwriter behind The Stranglers.
When future historians of music draw up a list of the movers and shakers who changed the modern musical landscape, Hugh Cornwell’s name will no doubt be amongst them. As a pioneering musician, songwriter and performer, his pervasive influence persists in the record collections of music aficionados, across this spinning globe’s radio waves, and on stages around the world. Hugh’s presence is unquestionable.
As the leader of The Stranglers, Hugh was the main songwriter of all of the band’s most memorable songs across ten stellar albums. After their 1977 debut ‘Rattus Norvegicus’, follow-up albums such as ‘No More Heroes’ and ‘The Raven’ consolidated Cornwell’s stature as a unique songwriter and musician. His multi-layered lyrics to “Golden Brown”, from ‘La Folie’, remain a songwriting masterclass.
