Norvegicus IV will be performed in it's entirety by Hugh Cornwell and his
band, after they blast through Hooverdam, His critically acclaimed new
album. Two classics...in one evening:

Cornwell is one of the UK's finest song-writing talents and accomplished
live performers. The original guitarist, singer and main songwriter in The
Stranglers enjoyed massive UK and European success with ten hit albums and twenty-one top forty singles in the 17-year period he was in the band. The Stranglers etched themselves into the UK's musical psyche with Peaches, No More Heroes, Golden Brown, Always the Sun, Grip, Nice N Sleazy, Duchess, Walk on By, Strange Little Girl and Skin Deep.

"Hooverdam is a cousin to Lou Reed's storming 1988 LP, New York. A very coherent album with a timeless quality" - Record Collector.

"He remains a hugely popular and prolific performer who's songwriting
retains its fiery eloquence and whose gigs still crackle with electricity" -
Classic Rock.
