As the original guitarist, singer and main songwriter in The Stranglers, Hugh Cornwell enjoyed massive success with 10 hit albums and 21 top 40 singles, etching himself into Europe and the USA’s musical psyche as the voice of such classic songs, as Peaches, No More Heroes, Golden Brown, Nice N’ Sleazy, Always the Sun and Duchess.

The Stranglers went on to become the highest-selling band to emerge from the British punk explosion during the 1970s.
