Live Photos: Hugh Cornwell – San Fran, Wellington

Legendary singer and guitarist for UK punk innovators The Stranglers, Hugh Cornwell hit the stage at Wellington's San Fran last night for the second part of a three date tour of Aotearoa, the artist's first visit to our shores in nigh on a decade. In our recent wide-ranging interview with Cornwell, he promised to "come out and ram those Stranglers songs down the audience's throats until they beg for mercy, and pull white handkerchiefs out saying 'we can't take any more'". The inimitable songwriter and his band are swooping into Auckland to conclude the tour tonight at The Powerstation - get a taste of Thursday's action with Bruce Mackay's snaps of the show, click on the thumbnails below to view the full gallery...
