Some of these gigs in 2001 are actually HC gigs, rather than Stranglers ones. I think, anyway. Stables you have on the list. For sure the Norwich Arts Ctr one was Hugh. Borderline in London (you have the November one on your site but there was definitely one earlier in 01 and that could have been the one listed in June on this page), Ruislip Golf Centre ... definitely Hugh - the Ruislip one is on your website, but it was actually two shows over two days (wasn't it?!!? does anyone else remember? maybe it was an afternoon show followed by an evening show? but it was definitely two shows) and it was called the Ruislip Golf Club, although I am also seeing "Comedy Bunker" on concertarchive. I am sure I recorded it on either one or both days. I think I read some sort of thread about it here, from the person who organised
Joel who organised these Ruislip gigs and later also for Paul and John at the Comedy Bunker which was at the Ruislip Golf Club grounds indeed, has a fun Hugh anecdote which I will post here once I found it again.

I have June 23, 2001: Borderline, London
Was that that little place behind where the MF and LA used to be and supposedly now is a tube station? I think Charring X tube was the nearest station

So, to solve the Wycombe Swan venue name mystery in this:

26 Mar 2003 🎙️
High Wycombe Town Hall
High Wycombe, England
A separate source names this date's venue as "The Swan" (itself marked uncertain in that source), High Wycombe — possibly the same show under a different venue name; not resolved

The Swan, according to wiki:
Wycombe Swan is a theatre in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. The theatre was opened in November 1992 by Wycombe District Council and is now operated by Trafalgar Entertainment.[2] The Wycombe Swan complex consists of the main theatre, the Wycombe Swan Town Hall, and the Oak Room, all of which can be hired for event

So basically, the Swan is not a pub, like you'd think, but an entertainment venue inside a municipal complex.

ETA: I am not claiming credit for solving the riddle.

That Feb 2002 with Glen Matlock on Banzai - was it the one in which we were treated to them smoking cigarettes backwards?!?!?!?!?

Also March 2003, Never Mind the Buzzcocks on the telly???

According to AI, which is really clever, because look what it put in the parenthesis, like, why did it think I was thinking about someone storming off in a huff?!?!?!?!? Was this the time that they all had to guess which woman in a kimono was Anneka, of "Japanese Boy" fame and Hugh said it was whoever it was because her socks were the same colour?!

Hugh Cornwell, former frontman of The Stranglers, appeared as a panelist on the BBC pop culture quiz show Never Mind the Buzzcocks on March 3, 2003 (Series 12, Episode 9).Episode Details and HighlightsAir Date: March 3, 2003 (Series 12, Episode 9)Fellow Panellists: Siobhan Fahey (Bananarama), Sean Rowley, and Barry Cryer.Hosts & Captains: Hosted by Mark Lamarr, with team captains Phill Jupitus and Sean Hughes.(Note: If you are thinking of a famous panellist walking off the show in a huff due to a host's teasing, that famously happened to singer Preston from ordinary-chart-pop band The Ordinary Boys during a 2007 episode hosted by Simon Amstell, rather than Hugh Cornwell.)

And here's a thread about the 11/6/26 one at the Fez:

https://www.themeninblack.co.uk/forums/ ... php?t=2297

On that link with the tickets, it is def the same gig, as the person describing the support lady was kind of spot on and I am sure she was called Retalik and that is who is says is supporting on the stub.

I'm sorting through some old boxes and amongst copies of Strangled I've found newsletters and newsflashes from the Hugh Cornwell Information Service (HIS - Hugh's version of SIS) covering the period May 1993 to September 1997. There's plenty of gig information in these. I can scan them and upload somewhere if anyone is interested.
