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
