But I wanted to go organic because intensive farming is ruining the countryside.” But eco-ethics can come at a cost and Chris says: “The raw materials are quite a lot more. And there’s the certification.” Jet admires the brewery’s organic status: “I’m in sympathy generally with the organic, green movement. But a lot of the green agenda seems unachievable. However, if someone can produce a good organic beer, and stay solvent, that’s great.” In his pre- Stranglers days, back in the 1960s, Jet was into wine- making and dabbled a little with brewing, too. His interest coincided with the effective legalisation of home brewing – when the then chancellor of the exchequer, Reginald Maudling, abolished the rate of duty on home brews. “I suddenly saw a business opportunity,” says Jet. “I was one of the first people to enter the domestic brewing market when it became legal. “The touring musician is a boozy individual.

    Issue 128 JANUARY 11TH, 2021 Things change with time, as my very close friend likes to say. Here’s my New Year’s wish: that things change for the better in 2021. A new year brings new possibilities. We’re saddened by the loss of Gerry Marsden (78) of British Invasion legends Gerry and the Pacemakers. Their first single, “How Do You Do It,” hit number one on the British charts in 1963 – before the Beatles ever accomplished that feat – and they went on to have other smash records like “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying,” You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “I Like It” and “Ferry Cross the Mersey.” These songs are woven not just into the fabric of the 1960s, but our lives. In this issue: Anne E. Johnson covers the career of John Legend and rediscovers 17th century composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier. Larry Schenbeck gets soul and takes on “what if?” Ken Sander goes Stateside with The Stranglers. J.I. Agnew locks in his lockdown music system. Tom Gibbs looks at new releases from Kraftwerk, Julia Stone and Max Richter. Adrian Wu continues his series on testing in audio. John Seetoo mines a mind-boggling mic collection. Jay Jay French remembers Mountain’s Leslie West. Dan Schwartz contemplates his streaming royalties. Steven Bryan Bieler ponders the new year. Ray Chelstowski notes that January’s a slow month for concerts – with a few monumental exceptions. Stuart Marvin examines how musicians and their audiences are adapting to the pandemic. I reminisce about hanging out with Les Paul. We round out the issue with single-minded listening, the world’s coolest multi-room audio system, mixed media, and a girl on a mission.

Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie.

Un concert entre fureur et grâce. Nés à la fin des années 70, en pleine déferlante punk, The Stranglers ne cessent de se réinventer d’album en album, passant par le rock, le post-punk, l’électronique, la new wave et la pop. Leur son se caractérise par la basse à la fois mélodique et agressive de JJ Burnel et par les rapides arpèges de Dave Greenfield, joués indifféremment sur orgue Hammond, synthétiseur, piano ou clavecin. Sur scène et en studio, The Stranglers, ou du moins leur première formation jusqu’en 1990, se sont également distingués par un humour provocateur et des frasques devenues légendaires. Groupe très populaire en Grande-Bretagne, ils sont parvenus à placer un nombre impressionnant de titres et d’albums dans le top 40 britannique. The Stranglers entrent aujourd’hui dans leur cinquième décennie d’existence et d’activités effrénées, ce qui en fait l’un des groupes mythiques de l’histoire du rock et surtout l’un des très rares issus du mouvement punk à n’avoir jamais cessé de se produire sur scène.
