Review

Early reports suggest this was a good gig. Full details to come but it followed much the same pattern as the Ruby Lounge and Barbican gigs. Vini Reilly did a couple of solo numbers before being joined by Poppy Morgan on piano for a couple of guitar/piano duets before Keir Stewart and Bruce Mitchell joined Vini for the rest of the set. Thanks to Dave Clarkson on Head to Head for info.

Cerysmatic's guest roving report Steve Aldcroft was there too and he took the pics. Steve graciously donated his (fake) FAC 136 tape to the Durutti road crew with the demand that they use it on the rest of the tour and hand him back the empty roll at the Deaf Institute. Nice one Steve.
