On this episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by the unmistakable Hugh Cornwell—original frontman of The Stranglers and an enduring voice in British rock—for a sharp, insightful, and often humorous conversation that spans decades of music and creativity.
Hugh reflects on how his songs have found new life in cinema soundtracks, and shares stories from his popular and delightfully eccentric podcast Mr Demille FM, where film and music collide. We dive into his solo tour of Australia, what it’s like connecting with fans across continents, and his creative evolution through acclaimed albums like Monster & Moments of Madness.
He also opens up about his collaboration with poet John Cooper Clarke, a meeting of minds and mischief that continues to blur the lines between punk, poetry, and performance.
As always on The Mixtape, Hugh creates his very own imaginary 6-track mixtape, revealing the music that shaped his artistry—from punk pioneers to cinematic scores and everything in between.
🎧 Witty, sharp, and filled with stories from a true original—this is Hugh Cornwell like you’ve never heard him before.
