Led by Vini Reilly, and one of the most eclectic bands to emerge from Manchester s punk scene, The Durutti Column is both contemporary and legendary. As the first band to be signed to Tony Wilson s seminal Factory Records, Reilly went on to work with the likes of New Order s Peter Hook and played and co-wrote on Morrissey s first solo LP Viva Hate. With their unique style of acoustic and electric guitar textures, The Durutti Column has released a prolific twenty-seven albums. Their huge impact on the British music scene was recently immortalised in the film 24 Hour Party People. The legendary Durutti Column launch their new album A Paean to Wilson, their tribute to their benefactor and fan Anthony H (Tony) Wilson, who died in 2007. The band will also be performing a selection of favourite tracks from the Durutti Column’s 30 year back catalogue. This is a unique one-off evening that will not be repeated.
