2002

Hugh appeared with Glen Matlock in a sketch

Recording exists; setlist not supplied

Per James, from a themeninblack forum mention; venue not given

Per James, from a themeninblack forum post dated 23 Feb 2002 saying "Saw Hugh at the Surgery in Stafford on Thursday" — 23 Feb 2002 was a Saturday, so the preceding Thursday (21 Feb) is used; not an explicitly stated date

Hugh appeared on Rowland Rivron's musical panel show *Jammin'*, broadcast on radio and live on the web

Corrected from 15 Mar: a Crawley and District Observer preview (13 Mar 2002, Wed) on the British Newspaper Archive states "will appear at Komedia, Brighton, tomorrow (Thursday, March 14)" — 14 March 2002 was indeed a Thursday

Resolves the previously date-unknown Dublin show. Per an Irish Independent listing (19 Mar 2002) on the British Newspaper Archive: "Hugh Cornwell, Whelan, Thursday. The former frontman of The Stranglers is making a return visit to Dublin only a couple of weeks after" a prior visit

Show cancelled. Venue resolved via a Horsham Advertiser preview (2 Apr 2002) on the British Newspaper Archive: "GUILDFORD Electric Theatre: Hugh Cornwell & Sumyunguise, Thurs, 8.00"

Setlist: Hot Cat on a Tin Roof, Dark Side of the Room, Beauty on the Beach, Black Hair Black Eyes Black Suit, Ola Cadiz, Decadence, Henry Moore, Land of 1000 Kisses, Lay Back on Me Pal, Nerves of Steel, One Burning Desire, One Day at a Time, Snapper, Break of Dawn, 24x7; encore: Hanging Around, Peaches, Golden Brown, Duchess, No More Heroes, Goodbye Toulouse, Ships that Pass in the Night, Always the Sun, Shakin like a Leaf, Strange Little Girl, Souls, Nice n Sleazy

From a forum thread title only ("Hugh goose green") — venue and exact location not verified

Recording exists — a BBC Radio Wales interview interspersed with acoustic performances, dated 1 Aug in the recording's own file metadata; this settles the earlier 1 Apr/1 Aug conflict between secondary sources in favour of 1 Aug. (The previously cited broadcast of this performance by BBC Radio Wales's *The Saturday Social* on 1 Jun would predate this date, so is likely a broadcast-date mix-up, not yet resolved.) Setlist: No More Heroes, Peaches, Hanging Around, Ola Cadiz, Golden Brown, 24/7, Always The Sun

Keith Cameron interviewed Hugh for a seven-page feature on The Stranglers

A forum review thread titled "Hugh @ Sheffield" is dated 25 Oct — likely posted the day after, or a 1-day discrepancy; not resolved

Per a Birmingham Daily Post listing (26 Oct 2002) on the British Newspaper Archive: "SUNDAY: ... Hugh Cornwell: [Wulfrun] Hall, Wolverhampton"

Per a Flint & Holywell Chronicle listing (8 Nov 2002) on the British Newspaper Archive: "LIVERPOOL, The Cavern: Hugh Cornwell"

In fact Hugh will be playing at The Junction on Clifton Road." The date is fixed by the venue's own advance listing (Cambridge Daily News, 10 Oct 2002, Page 31), printed well before the mix-up: "HUGH CORNWELL Mon 11 Nov £10 adv"
