Poster
Academy 2 (Main Debating Hall)
23rd January 2005

The tour poster for the reformed Gang Of Four tour of 2005, which included a show at the University in the main hall (Academy 2).

This was one of those gigs you couldn't really have ever expected to see and daren't expect to be any good. However, it was fabulous and they totally lived up to their reputation and performed a stunning set made up of material from the first two classic albums.

Just how good this was going to be was evident a few seconds into the first song, an immense sounding 'What We All Want' (familiar these days as the source of a sample Andy Weatherall used to great effect on his My Bloody Valentine remix). No one really plays guitar quite like Andy Gill.
