Former Strangler thrives on acoustic independence Hugh Cornwell comes to Camberley Theatre on April 2 HUGH Cornwell was once part of legendary 1970s band The Stranglers.
Since 1990, he has been touring solo with his own acoustic sound, and on Wednesday, April 2, at 8pm is at Camberley Theatre.
As the original guitarist, singer and main songwriter in The Stranglers, Cornwell enjoyed massive UK and European success with 10 hit albums and 21 top 40 singles during his 17 years in the band.
He has since released six solo albums and written a book (The Stranglers: Song by Song) which sets the record straight, displaces the myths and explains for the first time the real stories behind The Stranglers’ extensive catalogue of songs.
The Stranglers’ most successful song, Golden Brown, featured on the soundtrack to Guy Ritchie’s Hollywood blockbuster Snatch, while Peaches appeared in the opening sequence of the hit film Sexy Beast as well as in a Nike TV ad for the 2002 World Cup.
Don’t miss the chance to catch this hugely popular and prolific performer in a special acoustic gig including old favourites and new solo material.
Tickets for Hugh Cornwell cost £15.50, friends £13.50, and can be booked by calling the box office on 01276 707600 or by visiting www.camberleytheatre.biz. First printed in:
