After releasing his final album with the band, <em>10<\/em>, in 1990, Cornwell embarked on a solo career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast forward to today and he is still enjoying an illustrious solo journey. In 2022 he released his latest album <em>Moments Of Madness<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Filled with acute, pithy and witty observations, the record has received widespread critical acclaim from the likes of Uncut, Mojo, Louder Than War, Vive Le Rock and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hugh Cornwell - Too Much Trash\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/seFx71iq2fQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Cornwell has announced a run of UK tour dates for the beginning of 2024. Kicking off in Bury St Edmunds on 17 January, the eight-date tour will see him joined by very special guests <strong>The Primitives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The indie-pop band from Coventry are best known for their 1988 international hit single <em>Crash<\/em>, which paved the way for a string of hit singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Constant members<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formed in 1984, disbanded in 1992 and reformed in 2009, the band\u2019s two constant members are vocalist Tracy Tracy and guitarist Paul Court, and the duo have been joined by drummer Tig Williams since 1987.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their music sits somewhere on the spectrum between indie-rock and indie-pop, with a style straddling power-pop, new-wave and post-punk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catch Hugh Cornwell joined by The Primitives across the UK this January.
