As main songwriter with The Stranglers, Hugh is responsible for some of the band’s most memorable songs from across ten albums.

Their 1977 debut Rattus Norvegicus featured Peaches, (Get A) Grip, (On Yourself) while the follow-ups were albums No More Heroes, Black and White, The Raven and The Gospel According To The MenInBlack, which Hugh cites as his favourite Stranglers album.

His lyrics to Golden Brown, from the La Folie album, is described as a songwriting masterclass.
