They were probably the best band I ever booked at university (and I booked The Police, The Jam, Stiff Little Fingers and a whole host of others).

Nowdays I represent their tribute band (The Men in Black) who are almost as good! (Nah! they're not bad, but NOTHING will ever be as good as the real thing!)

Jet Black & his son dabbled in ice cream sales, so when they needed transport to early gigs (Hope & Anchor, 100 Club) ect they would travel from Guilford in Jets Ice cream van.

Hughs Book "The Stranglers Song by Song" is a direct contrast to the "No Mercy" biography (Jets memoirs) and it is apparent that there are very big rifts between Hugh & Jet.

Cool Bob...remember "Rock goes to College" on the Beeb, the Stranglers
set was pulled as Hugh insisted on wearing his "Ford" "Fuck" T-Shirt.
They may have been old men, but they had more punk attitude than most of the fashion victims claiming to be punks.

hi chris,wasnt hugh hazel o connors boyfriend for a while?

Hi Steve ....Yes you are right Hazel was seeing Hugh just prior and after his 3 month stay in Pentonville prison after being caught with a veritable chemists shop of various mind altering substances.
In fact she featured on the Live "Stranglers and Friends" concert in support of Hugh.
Its a great album and features such artists as Ian Drury, Jake Burns (SLF),
Robert Smith (The Cure), Toyah, and even long time Stranglers fan Phil Daniels.



Cheers CC.
