Since leaving The Stranglers Hugh has released four solo albums, 'Wired' (1993), 'Guilty' (1997), 'Hi-Fi' (2001), and 'Footprints In The Desert' (2002), as well as having his book published last, 'The Stranglers Song By Song' (2001), where Hugh set the record straight, displaced the myths and explained for the first time the real stories behind The Stranglers, his departure and the true origins of all their songs. Hugh's latest album, Mayday, is an extremely hard, cutting edge recording and is reminiscent in many ways of early Stranglers albums. Recorded in Manchester on May 1st 1998 Mayday is a must for the Stranglers fans as it includes live versions of 'Irate Caterpillar', 'Wired', 'Mothra' & 'White Room' from Hugh's first solo album (released in 1979) 'Nosferatu'. Hugh is backed by Mike Polson (guitar & vocals) Michelle Marti (bass and vocals) Justin Chapman (drums)
