any info please email me
This was the first of the 4 night alternative rock festival at the Prince of Wales Conference Centre in London,
besides Joy Division also Teardrop Explodes and Echo And The Bunnymen played.
"If I had a flair for understatement, I could say that Joy Division were good too. The truth is they were
phenomenal - the most physical hard rock group I've seen since Gang Of Four. This Manchester band have been allowed
to grow at their own pace, uncramped by commercial pressures. The result is that they've created a totally distinctive,
cohesive sound over the last two years...They have the spirit and the feeling." - Adrian Thrills, NME review
