Durtro News: 8 May 2008

Dear All:

Firstly, I and all everyone would like to thank those who made our small tour possible—those who arranged it, those who booked it and, most of all, those who came. We had a tremendous and exhausting time. Especially we would like to thank Fabrizio Palumbo, Giulio Di Mauro and Enrico Croci for organising it and Patrik and Pepper for driving us everywhere. And thank also to: in Poland Maieck and Anna; in Moscow Grigory, Inna, Gerry, Father Kosma, Anjey, Elena and Cyril—and Vera Sazhina for playing with us—and also what a pleasure it was to meet Aljona, Ksenia and Ekaterina; in Turin Davide; in Berlin Christoph and Anke; in Bourges Christophe; in Tilburg Walter and Jurgen; and in London Danni and Glen. Also to Lauren Winton for the film that was shown at the London show. And thanks too to Nidge, Pacheco and Olivier for coming to so many of the concerts. I also want to especially thank Michael Cashmore, Steffi Thiel and their wonderful daughter Unity for coming to be with us in London and for playing with Marc Almond there; to Marc Almond; to Antony; and to Sebastian Horsley; and to Bill Fay for coming to the show too. And everyone else.

C93 poster by Malleus

Beautiful Current 93 poster by ‘Malleus’ for the Roadburn festival

We were very happy when famous poster designers MALLEUS asked C93 if they could design a poster, with suggestions from David on specific imagery, to commemorate C93’s day at the Roadburn Festival. It is really very beautiful indeed. The poster was screen-printed by hand in a small quantity, and is available for purchase from the Malleus shop. Go to their English and Italian language site at www.malleusdelic.com and www.myspace.com/malleusdelic.

Apologies for delays in sending out material

Sorry that is has taken so long to send out some material. There is only one person who takes care of all of Durtro’s mail order/email business so things can get a little overwhelming at times. We are steadily getting through the email backlog. All copies of the Marc Almond/Michael Cashmore CD and the ‘Black Ships Heat the Dancefloor’ CD/DVD are being sent out from our office in Canada for logistical reasons, so these items may take a little longer to arrive with you.

I was asked by Jozef to write liner notes for his new album, A PRIORI, on his own Incunabulum label. I was delighted and honoured to do so—I love his creations. More details here, as well as the option to purchase his work:
