Kooky Records web v2.1

Brand new "A Paean To Wilson live" t-shirts will be on sale at the gigs courtesy those Kooky Boys. There are two designs, one features artwork similar to the cover of the Paean To Wilson album and the other is based on a painting by Bruce Mitchell's wife Jacqueline and features Tony Wilson and Bruce in silhouette.

Tickets are still available for both the upcoming gigs but get in there quick as they are selling fast - see links below.

24 January 2010 - The Lowry, Salford Quays (Box Office: 0870 787 5790) [via Ticketline]

31 January 2010, The Leicester Square Theatre, 6 Leicester Place, London, WC2H 7B (Box Office: 0844 847 2475) [via Ticketline]

[NB the price in London will be £2 more on the door. Both venues sell tickets at their own box offices with no booking fee if paying in person in cash.]

Jesca Hoop is now confirmed as support for both gigs.

The Durutti Column – Four Factory Records

The initial run has been sold. Unfortunately we have a few less than anticipated.

More copies will be available in the next ten days and we will start posting these the end of week commencing 19/10/09.

If you are one of the handful that has not been posted you will receive and email from me directly.

These will be identical in every way to the first run, i.e. six discs, art and inserts etc, but the envelope will not be hand numbered. I trust this is acceptable but should you have any queries relating to this or any other matter please contact me by email at philcleaver@btinternet.com

The Durutti Column - A Paean To Wilson

Many many thanks to all those people who bought a copy of this release on pre-sale at the Durutti show in London 09/10/09. Special thanks from Vini to those who travelled some considerable distance - Melbourne, Dunedin, Cape Town, Detroit, France, Spain, Leyton, Chiswick and Cheslyn Hay amongst others to be there!

We will be releasing this album at the end of January or early February 2010 through all good online and traditional stores. In the meantime I will be selling these on the Kooky site only early November. Please watch the website for more information as it is available.

Holiday!

Kooky mail order has a week and a bit off!!!! We will soon be on holiday and nothing ordered now will be posted before Friday 23rd October.

Hi folks...

Just a quick reminder that there are still tickets available for John Metcalfe's series of shows this week coming at Kings Place, London.

John has curated the 'Beyond the Loop' series of shows providing a great mix of musical flavours. There is a great opportunity for you to listen to all kinds of music you would perhaps not normally see on the same bill.

Kings Place has made the shows very very affordable. You can still buy saver seats at £6.50 per show from their website. Please remember that John will be playing twice on Friday. Firstly he will form part of the Duke String Quartet at 7.00pm and then join Vini et al for the London premiere of 'Paean to Wilson' at 9.00pm. If you are coming to the Durutti show - please make the effort to see the String Quartet before hand. It is a great deal and I cannot remember the last time we had the opportunity to see Durutti in such a well-suited line up for under £15.00 in London!

Hope to see you support this and the other shows

Phil
