Only really heard his work on Morrisseys Viva Hate but think that's brilliant.

Love Durutti Column

Grunfeld

Yep, love his work and have most of his stuff (and shit, there's a lot!).  Been into Durutti Column from the first album, followed his work ever since. 

Vini's playing, IMO, is great example of "one trick pony" but done by someone who has perfected the trick.  He's absolutely one of my favourite guitarists.

Been into his music for about 5-6 years. Durutti Column was a name I'd known for years and I've always loved Viva Hate, but it was Spotify that allowed me to get into his stuff.

I love his whole approach. I was very lucky to see him perform Pean to Wilson a few years ago. His interplay with Bruce Mitchell on drums was a joy to hear. I was unable to visit Manchester to see him play Chronicle, and shortly afterwards of course he suffered a stroke. This seems to have curtailed things in large part.

Great, great player. Jimmy Page (one of Vini's heroes) coined the phrases 'light and shade; from a whisper to a scream' when describing a certain approach to music and the guitar. Vini has this too. Capable of the most delicate and intricate pieces, but when he cuts loose he plays and lets fly with total passion.

Gets a killer tone from a Strat.

One of the GREAT British guitarists, and criminally overlooked.

Does zilch for me. Effects soaked nothingness really. Just goes to show.

I only have two Durutti Column albums (LC and Another Setting) but I'm very fond of them. The song Never Known is a perennial favourite of mine.

Love most of the first four albums (Another Setting especially), and really enjoy  for some of his more recent stuff too (the Keep Breathing LP is fantastic).  Got to see him play live a few years back with Bruce Mitchell, and have to concur that they're pretty special together.  Hope he's well enough to play again, someday.
