    "On January 20, 1977, Tolhurst suggested a trip to Croydon to see The Stranglers at the Red Deer. Dempsey drove, Lol bought the tickets, Robert and Mary sat in the back seat. Punk, hitherto an exotic concept they'd only read about in the music press, was now made flesh. A month later, The Stranglers played Crawley College. Amid the drunken mayhem, Tolhurst found himself on-stage dancing with Jean-Jacques Burnel and went home missing a shoe. In Robert Smith's mind, blanks were filling in: "When I first saw The Stranglers, I thought, This is it. I saw the Buzzcocks the following week, and I thought, This is definitely it.""

    Cancelled. "Top Rock Group Banned from Town Hall. 'A top rock group has been banned from Torquay Town Hall – and the man who was to promote the concert said that the decision by the council was due to "apathy and bloody-mindedness". The Stranglers were due to appear on June 9 as part of a national tour. Mr. Greg Van Dyke, the Plymouth promoter, said "I was told that the council were not willing to take the risk. But I was not told what the risk was… The council did not even do me the courtesy of ringing me. They clearly don't know a thing about the band." No one at the Town Hall was available for comment this morning.' Apparently, the problem was largely to do with the 'risk' that young people would hear the Stranglers swearing. Music fans were understandably angered: "For goodness sake, what are the council trying to do, bore us to death… Let us decide what's best for us… Plenty for OAPs and visitors… nothing for the youth of Torbay… Head in sand council…""

    (Jim Kerr in the audience) "The Stranglers' singer, Hugh Cornwell, had appealed to the fans to desist from their 'unhygienic' spitting. And during the first stage invasion, when fans took over the microphone, the bass guitarist Jean-Jacques Burnel 'appeared to be overcome by emotion' (the Glasgow Herald reported) 'and was seen thudding his head into his amplifier in time to the music before he left the stage in a series of leaps'." "The Stranglers' Glasgow ban did not, however, last long: councillors allowed the group to play the Apollo on October 16, 1977. Jan Tomasik, manager of the Apollo, had publicly appealed to the council to see reason. He, too, had been at the City Halls, back in June: 'These people should have seen a Bay City Rollers show,' he said. 'I'd rather have 12 Stranglers shows than one by the Rollers ... This new-wave music has to be given an airing, otherwise you can turn our entertainment centres into bingo halls.'"

"Cold fuckin day a lot of shy punks around, well i lie four or five in the late afternoon! the Stranglers in Cleethorpes. a few beers in a local pub before the doors open. The crowd is a mixture of punks, hippies and local boys who are not interested in the band, a very nasty ambience that has every one on edge. The gig is a shambles I remember Grip, and maybe Burning up time and Bitching! Before the stage invasion and the violence I was under a table out of the way as bottles and glasses smashed and it got real nasty! Not long after at the Roundhouse no fuckers messed with us!" — Carl Greenwold

    Steel Pulse support. "It's late autumn 1977, and the Stranglers are headlining a show in the Midlands. The support comes from the roots reggae band Steel Pulse. They know what to expect from a punk crowd: gobbing, cans being thrown. Steel Pulse are barely into their first number when a huge wad of phlegm shoots from the audience and lands on the hand of bassist Ron 'Stepper' McQueen. The band's nickname for McQueen was 'Psycho' and they fully expected him to live up to his name. 'We all stared at Ronnie and we stopped playing,' remembers Steel Pulse's singer, Mykaell Riley. 'So there's this silence onstage, then eventually 4,000 punks went silent.' McQueen didn't react, however. Instead, Stranglers bassist, Jean-Jacques Burnel, stepped out of the wings, waded into the crowd, identified the culprit, and knocked him out cold. Then he turned to face the crowd. 'He just went, "You fucking wankers. You love reggae,"' laughs Riley."

    The Dictators support. "Anyone who has read the Swansea article might remember a paragraph called ˜The Round up". It described the collection of some of the lads prior to a frozen visit to a Stranglers gig in Swansea in October 1977. On that day my brother Steve and I collected some Finchley Boys from various addresses throughout East Finchley. When we pulled into Elmshust Crescent N.2. to collect Graham Hay, Leigh Bull, Phil Rawlings etc etc, a young lady called Emma Lee Bunton was probably sleeping very soundly in her cot in the adjoining road called Pulham Avenue. She was 9 months old. Her mother Pauline Davitt had eventually married the local milkman Keith Bunton but that does not tell the whole story. Pauline was a Davitt. The Davitt girls were well known in Finchley. Before she was married, Pauline had always had a massive thing for my cousin David Hillier who had lived in Pulham Avenue on the Elmhurst estate until he moved to the Isle of Man with his father and mother, my uncle Ken and aunty Florrie in 1968. In 1969 my mum and Dad organised a holiday to the Isle of Man. Pauline (baby Spices Mum) was really keen to visit David, so she begged my mum and dad to come with us. To say that David and I had a good time when she got there is probably enough. Pauline went on to produce one of the Spice girls and the rest of that story is history." — Al Hillier

    The Dictators support. "By this time the whole world had caught on to punk and the gig was full - 800+ people bouncing up and down as one had the pier floor unnervingly bouncing too. I hated The Dictators, long-haired yank bull-hitters who rode on the coat-tails of punk. I gobbed on the guitarist's hand so he stood on my face, which I suppose I deserved under the circumstances."
