S2E5 - Hugh Cornwell (The Stranglers)

He has been described as a poet, a rebel, a committed lover of celluloid. This week’s guest is Hugh Cornwell who was the lead singer and key songwriter for The Stranglers and his song Golden Brown is a songwriting masterclass.
We take a look at one of the biggest punk bands of the 70’s and 80’s the stranglers in itself with lyrics that have meanings upon meanings. With a solo album called Moments of Madness, he has come out of the wilderness with a tour around Australia.
Hugh Cornwell joins me today on Long Way to the Top.

Stranglers support for Australia tour 1979 was Iva Davies band Flowers before they became Icehouse.

[@longwaytothetoppodcast]

Yes, an interesting connection between the two bands. In the early days Flowers played a lot of punk music and a lot of T-Rex. The connection is Tony Visconti who did all of T-Rex's music and also produced some of Hugh Cornwell's solo work.

Totally relate to discovering brilliant music 30 or 40 years later, Hugh ❤️... not really a guitarist 🙄🤣

[@longwaytothetoppodcast]

Absolute fan of his work. Just as good now as he was back then.
