Former Stranglers frontman, Hugh Cornwell is currently in the middle of a 23-date UK tour that officially ends on 6th December. However, his concert at Gorilla in Manchester, for this coming Saturday 26th November has now been rescheduled and will take place at Manchester Academy 3 on Saturday 6th May 2023.
All tickets for the Gorilla venue show concert remain valid for the Manchester Academy 3 concert. Those seeking tickets for the show and others on the current tour can access them via Hugh Cornwell’s website and The Gig Cartel.
The UK tour highlights selected tracks from Conrnwell’s tenth solo album Moments of Madness plus Stranglers classics.
Widely regarded as the poet laureate of the punk era (from his early career fronting The Stranglers to his transition as a solo artist), Hugh Cornwell has 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.
Self-produced, and playing all of the instruments himself, Moments of Madness’ ten tracks finds imh flexing his musical muscles with a stripped down, offbeat, reverberating sixties vibe ringing from the seductive melodies and lyrically distinctive perceptions that are indelibly stamped with his trademark imagination. Vocally and lyrically a career-best, Hugh has never sounded so good on his tenth solo album.
A high watermark and a modern-day masterpiece, Moments of Madness is being tipped as the most significant album of Hugh’s career. It is multi-layered with serious messages, acute analysis, and witty observations in fun-filled lyrical and musical eccentricity.
