D-A-C-F-GWhen a 13-year-old boy first heard these keyboard notes from the song (Get A) Grip (On Yourself) blasting out of his cousin’s stereo way back in early 1977, his love of the music of The Stranglers started. With a group of like-minded friends, an unforgettable journey then began, a journey following a band who would provide “the soundtrack to our lives”, from the early days of the UK punk rock scene right through to the present day.
In this heart-warming, and updated show, Norfolk national award-winning performance storyteller and creative singer/songwriter, Andrew Brammer, recounts humorous and poignant memories and anecdotes from the part of that journey covering the years 1977 to 1987, and performs acoustic versions and reinterpretations of classic and timeless Stranglers songs from that period.
Join Andrew as he pulls from his love and encyclopaedic knowledge of all things ‘Stranglers’.
An earlier version of this show covering the years 1977 to 1982 played with great success in 2024 in Norwich and Cromer and in 2025 in North Walsham.
Here are just some snippets of what people have said about this show:
“A fantastic evening. Andrew is an amazing storyteller and musician.”

“Great evening - enjoyed immensely.”
“Loved hearing the different interpretations of these songs – brought out so many elements.”
“Never thought I would ever hear ‘Toiler’ or ‘Tank’ played acoustically!”
“Best £10 I’ve ever spent!”
“How on earth did you play Baroque Bordello acoustically?”
