At 74, Hugh Cornwell remains a regular gigging musician, his live performances inextricably linked to his time fronting punk forebears The Stranglers – even though he has now been solo for twice the length of time he was a member of that band.

The Hugh Cornwell concert at The Tuning Fork in Auckland’s CBD fringe was an intoxicating blend of new material and classic hits. Cornwell is a semi-regular visitor to New Zealand, having last played at the Powerstation in 2019.

Hugh Cornwell has done more than most. An original member of The Stranglers, one could also say ‘The Original’ but let’s leave that for the for another day.

It was a bit of the old and a bit of the new as Hugh Cornwell performed solo songs and Stranglers hits for the assembled faithful at Auckland’s Powerstation.

Hugh Cornwell descended upon Auckland's Powerstation last night as part of his Monster tour, which promised to deliver an evening of both his solo work and of course Stranglers hits that his name will forever be synonymous with.
