Dubai, UAE: Well known DJ, Musician, actor and author, Hugh Cornwell is set to perform live at Malecon, the trendiest Cuban restaurant in Dubai. The performance will be at the Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa on the 3rd of May at 9.30pm. Hugh, a lead singer, guitarist, songwriter and front man of famous 70's English rock group 'The Stranglers', has also enjoyed a hugely successful solo career.

So interesting is his life that his autobiography 'A Multitude of Sins', a first by any leading figure from the punk era is a favorite of music fans around the world. The book talks about Hugh's decision to leave 'The Stranglers' and explains in detail why this key moment in UK music history has never been fully explained.

In the 80s, Hugh teamed up with Nigel Planer for the 'Rough With The Smooth' single (from the TV show King & Castle) and released 'Facts & Figures' single, which also appears on the soundtrack to the animated film, (based on the Raymond Briggs story), 'When The Wind Blows'.
