What it is
As lead singer & songwriter of The Stranglers during their golden period Hugh Cornwell cast a spell mixing fact, history, mythology & ideology within the lyrics of the songs.
It was a heady mix, leading to the band’s success throughout the world, and they became championed for experimentation & commerciality in equal measures.
Hugh was responsible for all of the band’s most memorable songs across ten stellar albums that consolidated his stature as a unique songwriter and musician. His lyrics to ‘Golden Brown’ are a songwriting masterclass.
His solo career has led to ten albums of critically acclaimed songs, culminating in ‘Moments of Madness’, described as a ‘late flowering classic’ & a ‘modern-day masterpiece’.
