Win Tickets to See Hugh Cornwell's Final Solo Tour in Whitley Bay

As lead singer and songwriter of The Stranglers during their golden period, Hugh Cornwell cast a spell mixing fact, history, mythology and 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 and commerciality in equal measures.

Hugh was responsible for all of the band’s most memorable songs across 10 stellar albums that consolidated his stature as a unique songwriter and musician. Hugh last performed acoustic solo performances in the UK in 2017 and will be heading out across the country this November.

As well as dipping into both The Stranglers’ and his own catalogue of songs, he’ll be performing new songs from his next studio album, Succubus, the follow-up to Moments of Madness. These songs will be heard for the first time on this tour. There will also be an open mic moment in the show for the audience to ask him questions, which he will answer if possible.

Take this opportunity to experience the legendary acoustic live performance of one of the UK’s greatest living songwriters while you can.

The prize is a pair of tickets to see Hugh Cornwell at Whitley Bay Playhouse on 27th November. To be in with a chance of winning this prize, simply enter the competition below.
