The Horsemen Are The Connection

They are the leader of a movement.

The Durutti Column are a Manchester group who took their name from this image which adorned the streets of Strasburg in 1966. For all the usual reasons.

Jamie Reid is part of that movement. The man who painted the agenda for 1976 has now written a musical illustrating the situationist adventure. It is called "Chaos in Cancerland" and features the hit single "Leaving the Twentieth Century".

On Monday the 14th July, 1986, as part of the Festival of the Tenth Summer, Jamie's Partner in Crime, Margi Clark, Of Zinc and Breshnev Fame, will sing a selection from "Chaos" and Vini Reilly will play The Durutti Column's "Valuable Passages", in the post-Raphaelite grandeur of the Great Hall of Manchester's Town Hall, to visual and political accompaniment, slides and words.

?/??/1980 Trinity Hall, Bristol
Brighton, early '80s - David B. recalls that he saw The Durutti Column at the New Regent Hotel, West Street, Brighton, in 1981 or 1982. '(Vini) played at the end of a long room. There were no chairs and so the small audience stood in a kind of semi circle only a few feet away from him. The proximity of the audience didn't seem to affect him. To his left, slightly behind him was Bruce Mitchell - I can't remember if he had a full drum kit or a set of bongos. Vini played beautifully, mostly from LC. I was a huge fan at the time, so this was a very special and unusual gig." It appears this hotel no longer exists but did host shows from at least 1977-1982.
18 September 1982 supporting John Martyn at Guildford Civic Hall? - need confirmation
Late 1982 or 83 University of Essex, Colchester
