25 Years Ago Today

Joy Division's only 1000+ attendance, 1200 at the Electric Ballroom. Pity they were crap on the night really.

To win a copy of the recording, answer the following question :

How many times had Joy Division played in London before this gig ?

First correct e-mail received gets a copy of what is a decent recording of a landmark moment in their career.

It is (i think) 7 times, but i have no idea what your email address is and my email address is out of date.

We have a winner, and once again the CD will be heading Everton way ! Some measure of consolation for losing the boy Rooney.

Answer was that they'd played London 9 times before this Electric Ballroom gig:

Hope and Anchor, Islington (twice) Marquee Walthamstow Youth Centre (twice) Acklam Hall Royalty Theatre YMCA (Prince of Wales Conference Centre) Nashville Rooms

missed out by two gigs. :\ohwell:

Nope, no sign of it yet.

Have sent a couple of emails. Will send one from home tonight if that helps.

At last ! C'est arrive.

Would have been quicker snail mailing it. Stupid internet.

I thought there were 1000+ at the Lyceum....
