Mr Angry 1,569 Posted December 8, 2022 Stranglers drummer dies age 84. Amazing that a punk band had a 36 year old drummer when they formed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-63904248 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowrider120 766 Posted December 8, 2022 Indeed. Many fantastic songs of course and instantly recognisable and will remain so as the years pass. 'Walk on By' has to be one of the best with that unforgettable instrumental section from 1.28 - 5.35. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheva 123 Posted December 11, 2022 Great band, only the one original member left in the Stranglers, JJ. Used to play UEA, back in the 70’s/80’s. No strippers on TOTP, but plenty of bad people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I can remember, yeah. They always came to Norwich when they toured, and as Sheva has said they also played the UEA too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
