Stranglers to headline MOK Fest 2007

Postby IainJ » Thu Apr 05, 2007 9:42 pm

The Stranglers have now been confirmed as the headline act at this year’s main concert in the Victoria Hall, Campbeltown on August 18th. I know that the rumour mill has been circulating the word round the town for the past few weeks but we did not want to say anything until everything was finalised.

For those who don’t know the band, The Stranglers are a ‘new wave’ punk band established in the mid 1970s. They had 32 Top 40 hits spanning over four decades and 8 Gold Albums, audiences will recognise more tracks than they realise as their greatest hits are part of our culture. Among them are; “No More Heroes”, “Peaches” followed up in the 1980s by “Golden Brown” and “Strange Little Girl”.

You can check out the band at their web site at www.stranglers.net and the Festival committee are delighted to have a band of such calibre to appear this year. We will post up more info as we have it and you can check out the Festival web site www.mokfest.com which has a breakdown of other acts that are appearing this year.

:? No offence bud - but chances are they have'nae heard of you either.

The Stranglers were only one of if not - the - most successful bands to come out of the punk / new wave scene.

Their biggest hit 'Golden Brown' was sampled recently for the single 'No More' by Jamelia - er whoever she might be? :?

We've not set a date yet but - as usual - the tickets should be on sale by the end of June.
The Stranglers certainly seem to be a very popular choice especially amongst the more discerning music fans. :wink:
