Tour Date Details
The Stranglers
NOTE: Photographs taken from this concert for the Surrey Advertiser newspaper have been recently unearthed and the concert is dated on the negatives as 11th October 1978. The show was broadcast on the 20th October 1978 for the BBC "Rock Goes to College" programme. The Surrey Advertiser dated Friday, 13th October 1978 carried the story with the headline "Punk Band Is Barred". The band walked off after five songs protesting against elitist audiences when it became apparent that an agreement to make tickets available publicly to local fans was reneged on. Other titles that should have been played were “Curfew” “Tank” and “5 Minutes” ending with “Toiler On The Sea”. Seven other songs were also meant to be played but are unreadable from the setlist.
Setlist:
- Ugly
- I Feel Like a Wog
- Bring On the Nubiles
- Burning Up Time
- Hanging Around
