When future historians of music draw up a list of the movers and shakers who changed the modern musical landscape, there will be no doubt that **Hugh Cornwell**’s name will be prominent amongst them. As a pioneering musician, songwriter, and performer his pervasive influence persists in the record collections of music aficionados, across the globe’s radio waves and on stages around the world, Hugh’s presence is unquestionable.

As leader of** The Stranglers**, Hugh was the main songwriter of all the band’s most memorable songs across ten stellar albums all of whom consolidated Cornwell’s stature as a unique songwriter and musician. His lyrics to **"Golden Brown"**, from the ***La Folie*** album, and their multiple meanings, is a songwriting masterclass.

Widely regarded as the poet laureate of punk, **Hugh Cornwell** has also built a substantial and singular body of impressive solo albums. His tenth solo opus, ***Moments of Madness***, continues his illustrious output by experimenting with musical genres as his enviable reputation as a wordsmith resounds across this album's songs.

***All the Fun of the Fair***** **was released in October 2024, a** **double live album full of magic, showcasing gems from Cornwell’s solo catalogue alongside **Stranglers**' classics, capturing the visceral ferocity of Hugh's live performance

***“His solo work is a joy to listen to - great lyrics and wonderful guitars - and the Stranglers numbers stand the test of time, still sounding great after all these years.” *****- Scottish Music Network**
