And so they stumbled on into Leeds...

Yes, The Durutti Column played the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on Saturday.

According to Alken on the Durutti Yahoo List, the gig followed the pattern of recent ones in London, Liverpool and Newcastle and was rather good. Support came from Pudsey's The Declining Winter. I have cribbed the setlist from his excellent review.

Phil Kooky, writing on the Durutti Yahoo List, who attended the gig under yet another feeble ruse for selling his Kooky wares, said "Vini said to me a couple of years ago how he wanted and enjoyed playing as a band. Keir by his own admission feels far more comfortable nowadays playing bass, and I just think that the band is very relaxed at the moment... Vini also is totally amazed that people turn up at all!"

Don't forget that I'll be reporting live via Twitter and Twitpic on tomorrow's gig from Komedia in Brighton.
