First formed in 1974, The Stranglers no bullsh*t attitude was embraced by the punk movement of the late 70s.  But their musicianship and menace transcended the genre, creating a sound unique to themselves.  With their first three albums (Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes and Black and White) being released within an astonishing 13 months of each other, scoring hit singles with 'Peaches', 'No More Heroes' and 'Walk On By'. Further success was to follow with 'Always The Sun', 'Strange Little Girl' and the mercurial 'Golden Brown', amongst many others, earning the group 24 top 40 singles in a career (so far) spanning six different decades.

The Stranglers' 2021 album Dark Matters (peaked at #4 in the UK album chart) became the band's highest charting album since Feline in 1983. This was the last album to feature the mercurial, unmistakable keyboard playing of the late Dave Greenfield, who passed away in 2020 due to Co-Vid related illness. In 2022, the elder-statesman, drummer and founder of the band Jet Black passed away. Testament to the band's influence on rock music, tributes to Jet poured in from the likes of Duff McKagan (Guns n' Roses), Ricky Warwick (Thin Lizzy) and Lol Tolhurst (The Cure).

 

Fans can expect to enjoy the charming interplay of bass playing icon Jean-Jacques Burnel and longest serving guitarist/vocalist Baz Warne co-fronting the band as they navigate their way through a varied set of six decades worth of hits, hidden gems and fan favourites. Cemented ever since the busy 'Fifty Years In Black' year, JJ and Baz are joined by mainstay Jim Macaulay on drums and newest member, the harmonically dexterous Toby Hounsham on keyboards.
