Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on August 04, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Vini Reilly! May your day be as effortlessly cool and timelessly stylish as the shimmering guitar riffs you've gifted us through Durutti Column. From pioneering post-punk melodies to crafting atmospheric soundscapes that still echo in our playlists, your music remains a beacon of creativity.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more inspiration—perhaps another album filled with those signature hypnotic rhythms or an unexpected collaboration that'll surprise us all. Keep strumming those strings and defying musical boundaries; after all these years, you're still making waves (and reverb) like nobody else can. Cheers to you today!
