Former Stranglers front-man Hugh Cornwell hits the road for a series of UK dates from April 6th 2011, performing his critically acclaimed solo album Guilty, plus the following Stranglers epics The Raven, Schoolmaam, Down in the Sewer, Toiler on the Sea, Walk on By and Feel Like a xxx, all performed by Cornwell in their entirety. 

“The idea for this tour came from my fans,” says Cornwell. “The requests for Guilty haven’t stopped since it was first released. Now the fans have heard my interpretation of Rattus, they’re demanding to hear the other Stranglers epics ‘a la Hugh’. I can’t wait to perform them.”
