Hugh Cornwell, the former lead singer for The Stranglers, will release an exclusive limited edition covers album.
Only 250 copies of the ‘You’re Covered’ album will be made available to fans who buy tickets to his upcoming UK show.
"Over the years I've heard certain songs which have stayed with me and will suddenly pop up into my head for no apparent reason,” says Hugh about ‘You’re Covered!’. “They range from 'things' that I heard as a kid, to 'calling your name', which I only heard a few years ago for the very first time. This selection is by no means comprehensive, but is a cross-section of influences."
