B36583 – The Pop Group / A Certain Ratio Kim Philby Club Devilles Manchester Poster Peter Hook Collection (UK)

An original poster to promote The Pop Group, A Certain Ratio and Phil Diggle in Rolf Harris Is Dead performances at the Kim Philby Club, Devilles, Manchester on the 29^th November. The poster comes from the collection of Peter Hook and was sold as lot 156 in the Peter Hook Signature Collection which took place at Omega Auction on the 8^th October 2021. Peter said the following about the poster:

‘This was the other hip club in Manchester. Specialised in Rhino nights and some really wacky gigs. This was a great gig. The Pop Group were exceptional that night. Phil Diggle famously covered Barney’s pants in paint at an experimental art installation at The Hacienda and the night ended with them screaming at each other about who was going to pay for the pants. I like Phil.’

The poster has been framed which measures approximately 79cm x 104cm (31.1 inches x 41 inches). There is heavy damage to the bottom edge resulting in the bottom corners being missing. There are several small holes towards the bottom edge. The condition is good.
