Fripp and Hammill with The Stranglers Live 1980
 

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!!

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! :knowing: The TANK track is quite invigorating to say the least!
