Live at The Venue, London, 6 April 1982

Live at The Venue; ticket [back]

Live At The Venue, London is the legendary unofficial recording of a show back in April 1982 which ended up being released officially on the small VU label (and later reissued on CD by thedurutticolumn.com in association with Kooky).

Many thanks to Andrea Bianco for these scans of an ultra-rare ticket to the gig itself. We can see not only how cheap gigs were in those days but also the exact address of The Venue itself (now an Ask restaurant).

The Durutti Column Shop @ Kooky

Kooky Records HQ in Northampton is physically moving home in December 2008 and this will have an ensuing effect on mail order deliveries.

Phil promises to deliver any order received via the Shop (or any other Kooky Product) by close of play on Monday 8 December 2008 but any orders received after this date will have to await despatch until the first week in January 2009. Thank you for your understanding.

For all Shop enquiries please contact Phil.

Welcome to thedurutticolumn.com

The new improved official website for The Durutti Column launches today with an extensive updated Discography and a brand new Shop in association with our friends at Kooky Records.
