The Gigography for The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell

← All years

1992

The year the CCW album (Hugh Cornwell with Roger Cook and Andy West, on UFO Records) was released. Dates here are as CCW to promote the album. For live shows the core trio was backed by additional musicians to form a 7-piece band, with support from warm-up act The Deep Six. Work begins on "Wired" in early 1992 with Art Of Noise producer Gary Langan after Hugh sifts through around 50 home demos before settling on a shortlist of songs for the album.
