Fripp and Hammill with The Stranglers Live 1980

[artboy]

Back in the spring of 1980, Hugh Cornwell of the Stranglers found himself a "guest" at Pentonville Prison (for drugs possession). With two gigs scheduled at the London Rainbow for 3 April and 4 April, the management decided to turn things around by approaching a number of well known artists (including John Ellis, Toyah Willcox, Peter Hammill and Hazel O'Connor, amongst others) to fill in for the absent Cornwell.

4 tracks are posted on my site with Fripp on guitar and Hammill singing...ENJOY!!

Thanks Artboy !
I knew there was a gig but did not know it has been recorded and issued .

I always have felt that PH could have melded into the punk scene after prog lost it's punch in England... he certainly has enough angst! The TANK track is quite invigorating to say the least!
