Hugh Cornwell has always subverted expectations, whether as a solo artist, front man for The Stranglers, or in his collaborations. There's perhaps no greater example than 'Nosferatu', the cult classic created with Captain Beefheart drummer Robin Williams in 1979. A challenging release, Hugh's performing it in full, for the first time on his 2025 UK tour. "I never thought that it could ever be played live, but here we are able to do it", he confesses, as we sit down for a chat. We joined the original Maninblack to talk the album's creation, reflect on the enduring pull of hits like 'Golden Brown' and 'Nice 'N' Sleazy', and how his new record promises to challenge and surprise his audience once again.
