""Here in this basement," Cornwell, now 63, says to Westbam, "we, the Stranglers, gave our first performance in London, but only one person came to see us.""
"Punk outfit The Stranglers will appear at the inaugural BBC Radio 6 Music Prom alongside former Catatonia singer Cerys Matthews and folk star Laura Marling"
"Speaking about his band’s involvement in the late night prom, The Stranglers’ bass guitarist Jean-Jacques Burnel, 61, said performing at the event was ‘as cool as it gets’."
"The BBC Proms are to go punk for the first time as The Stranglers join this summer’s line-up alongside Daniel Barenboim, Bryn Terfel and Nigel Kennedy."
