" All those years ago. He was old then. As a teenager doing A-levels I remember being more shocked by the fact that he was 30 than by the fact that he shouted out the word clitoris on Rattus Norvegicus."

Concert review: Hugh Cornwell at the O2 Academy Islington
theupcoming.co.uk
" It’s an interesting exercise in the transformative power of crowds because frankly – and as objectively as I can manage – the new album is not really so different from the old."

"Cornwell was greeted by a lot of fans, more in fact than at Cornwell’s previous gig at the same venue. Which made me wonder whether they all gathered to check out his new album, or whether they flocked together for old times sake and to listen to Cornwell’s take on The Stranglers golden brownies."

"“Have you ever been on a Ferry? To France? Alone?” asks the dishevelled lighting technician in front of me. A titter goes round the audience. “What?” I think. “Is that a joke?” This was the first of many impenetrable aspects of Hugh Cornwell’s Cockpit gig on Thursday night."

Interview: Ruth Lawson chats to Hugh Cornwell

“I would rather play my stuff but the Stranglers are part of my life. You can’t deny where you come from, it’s like family ties or roots – it’s not healthy to deny things so I’m quite willing to play a proportion of old stuff as long as I’m not expected to play it exactly as it sounded originally.”
