Tuesday 31 March & Wednesday 1 April 2009Hugh Cornwell
Last seen in Paris in 2006 when he performed a stunning set with his band at la Java Hugh will be back for two intimate and exclusive nights.
Grip 89, Duchess, Golden Brown, There's Always The Sun and Strange Little Girl all feature in his current repertoire alongisde tracks from the half dozen albums he's made since leaving the Stranglers in 1990.

Last seen in Paris in 1998 when he performed solo at the Hotel du Nord Hugh hasn't played in Paris with his band before though they were at last year's "Rochefort en Accords" festival and quite a stir they caused ending an astonishing set with an antholigical version of "Walk On By" with an extended guitar solo worthy of Neil Young at his most frenzied.

Sunday 6th & Monday 7th December 1998
shhh.. don't let the neighbours hear us After leaving the Stranglers early in the '90's Hugh has released several solo albums, the most recent of which "Guilty" received rave reviews from music press including Q and Mojo. He has sporadically given solo plugged / unplugged concerts in England but has been absent from France for almost a decade. part from a test in Bristol this was the first ever solo acoustic show by the ex Strangler.
A unique experience that had hares standing on the back of their necks.
Check out his great album "Guilty" on Snapper records and the Hugh Cornwell Website : http://www.hughcornwell.com

Jesus will weep
one burning desire
