STRAIGHTEN OUT – Tribute to The Stranglers

7.30pm Sat 17th May – Bedford Esquires

We are pleased to announce the the return of STRAIGHTEN OUT the ultimate tribute to The Stranglers on Sat 17th May 2025.

Straighten Out are the real deal for all Stranglers and punk fans recreating the early days Stranglers experience with a raw and energetic set of hits, albums tracks and rarities in a complete two hour show.

Straighten Out are the world’s premier Stranglers tribute band with an extensive set that spans two solid hours as they re-create the ‘early years’ sound of The Stranglers, complete with a Hammond organ and Minimoog synth; the same models used by Mr. Greenfield himself, back in the day!

The growling bass sound and the quirky guitar riffs are all there to be heard as is the dual vocal ‘attack’ from the two frontmen a-la Burnel/Cornwell as they rip through the Stranglers’ classic: ‘Peaches’, ‘Hanging Around’, ‘No More Heroes’, ‘5 Minutes’, ‘The Raven’, ‘Walk On By’, ‘Straighten Out’, ‘Down In The Sewer’ and many more as they cover the Stranglers’ early classic albums, rarities and beyond.

Straighten Out will take you on a nostalgia trip that transports you back to those raw, powerful, exhilarating times when The Stranglers emerged through the quagmire of mediocrity to produce some of the finest music ever written. Straighten Out will put you back in that place!
