For Vini: A Tribute to The Durutti Column
Celebrate the iconic musical moments of Vini Reilly, guitar maestro and post-punk legend who inspired Harry Styles, with the artist’s collaborator Keir Stewart.
Cited as a key influence on Harry Styles’ recent album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, Vini Reilly’s project The Durutti Column has created a musical world of its own, blending filigree guitar with ambient textures, waves of samples, post-punk minimalism and indie introspection.
Presenting this special evening celebrating the music of Reilly and The Durutti Column is producer Keir Stewart, who has worked with Reilly and drummer Bruce Mitchell since 1998’s Time Was Gigantic… When We Were Kids album.
Stewart (guitar, bass, samples, keys) is joined by The Durutti Column collaborators Sam Morris (French horn), Caoilfhionn Rose (vocals and piano) and Liz Rossi (violin and piano), as they interpret key moments from across the band’s six-decade-long career.
