Last night ex Factory stalwarts, Durutti Column, played Ronnie Scotts.
Main man Vini Reilly - you saw him on 24hr pp - played the song he wrote in tribute to Curtis, 'Missing Boy', to the clear appreciation of a packed Jazz Club.
No words were said to intro the song and to be fair, none were needed.

It can be found on the Valuable Passages compilation CD (on Factory) and on the reissue of LC (on Factory Once).

Cheers for the info...must check this out!
recent events have led me to question the validity of johnny giles as a witness - he suffers from halucinations you know.
I was reading on 808 State's website some more about the Crispy Cornflakes / Inviting Tongue's gig next week.
Apparently there may be some DJs, presumably LTM types, called the Shadowplayers who may do some floor to the floor filling.
Could be a good nite, though I suspect there will be an element of chin stroking to the whole proceedings.

I believe that there may be photographic evidence of you dancing away to some kind of reggie kray track...
I didn't realise UB40 were big in Bristol

I'll have to remember my beret and black turtleneck.
I also have a few polenta recipes which may interest you.
;)
Indeed, you'll recognise me, I'll be the one in the corduroy suit jacket with a copy of the Independent under my arm.
:)
Originally posted by Mickey Way Was there any grooving in the aisles, JG?
Nah, nice ambient atmos though. Everyone sat around tables with lampshades on them, Waiters delivering bottles of wine in ice buckets against the gentle hum of eager anticipation etc.
James Nice, proprieter of LTM was flogging his wares in the foyer. Now talking of chin strokers...
Having just re-read what I've written above & to save the philandering punmeister Fibster asking these questions, please can I confirm the following:
Is that clearer now?
Did U buy owt?
Might send off for the Inviting Tongues comp and the new LTM comp as well. The previous one, The Night Watch, was rather spiffing.
Just been dipping my toe in on the 'tron board. That last song they do is a cover of The Tweets or something...

Yes, purchAsed a rather fine collection known as the 'Sporadic recordings' or something similar. Signed by the recording artistes to boot.
I shall view the 'tron board asap. Note any common ground between message boards, our colonial cousins & w8nk posts? ;)
I wonder if that kid ever found out how to play his 7", JG? Actually, that's a complete lie.
Going back to The Durutti Column, didn't Vini write another song about IC? Buggered if I can remember the title, and even if I could you know who would just ask for someone to send him the mp3...

Is this a 'tron or Nelson's Column release?

Hmm, think you've out-obscured me there. Not sure about any other Curtis reference points.
Just recalled the other place you can find 'The Missing Boy' Julio - it's on Fact 56 'A Factory Video'. Gonna give it a quick whirl before I retire.
The other Durutti Column tribute to Mr. Curtis was called 'Lips That Would Kiss' - it's available on the 'Return of the Durutti Column' cd....and it's an instrumental!
Help me somebody help me !!!
I need both songs in mp3,please if there's someone gentle here send it to my e-mail. 
If it helps, there's a Real Audio snippet of "Lips That Would Kiss" from the Durutti Column site at http://www.column.freeuk.com/
Go to Mail Order and it's track 10 off "The Return Of The Durutti Column".
l8rs,
Nick ;)

Thanx Nick 
Missing Boy is also on that live from the Bottom Line in NYC cassette that ROIR put out about 15 or so years ago, I think, not sure if it's ever been reissued ( I know that the Television live set has been re-released on vinyl and CD).

Ahh. Got this, without even realising it's significance.
Watching Fact 56 last night. Does anyone know where the DC part was filmed. A Festival somewhere, looked like Germany or Scandanavia maybes.
I know the footage you mean, but can't really shed any more light.
As an aside, looking at the official DC site, it mentions that "Sleep Will Come" was also dedicated to IC. Seems VR was a bit obsessed!!
And Julio, you don't even need to ask this time... ;)
Ob, you doing any of the following...
Hot Hot Heat May 22nd, Camden somewhere Puressence May 27th, London somewhere Crispy Ambulance & Biting Tongues May 29th, ICA, The Mall Ladytron May 30th, Ocean, Hackney
Or are your gig going activities still on hold?
Not familiar with Hot Hot Heat, and it's my daughter's first birthday anyway!
Off to Sunnyvale 27th to 31st May, so will miss all the good ones. Puressence are at The Scala again, I think.
Will definitely be at the Sav exhibition on Monday though!!!

Twas the tables that had lampshades on them not the people sitting around the table. 2. The bottles of wine were in the ice buckets not the Waiters.3. No, I don't know why James Nice calls his assistants 'wares'.Is that clearer now?
i don't know what you mean - thought hadn't crossed my mind!
