With a career that has spanned five decades, Hugh Cornwell remains one of the defining voices and songwriters to emerge from the punk era. As the 50th anniversary of The Stranglers’ debut album ‘Rattus Norvegicus’ approaches, Cornwell is looking back as much as he is looking forward, with plans to celebrate the milestone live while continuing to explore new territory in his solo career. Next year, as he exclusively reveals will also see the release of his latest solo album, ‘Succubus’ — a title he reveals here exclusively for the first time. We caught up with Hugh at Forest Fest to talk about the enduring legacy of the Stranglers, the genius of Dave Greenfield, the forthcoming ‘Nosferatu’ live film, and what it means to revisit fifty years of The Stranglers. Coming out of the winderness; Eamon O’Neill.
