Stephen Morris will sit down with Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 6 Music on Sunday July 12 at 6pm to discuss Ian Curtis and the early Joy Division years. The timing is poignant: the interview airs in the week of what would have been Curtis's 70th birthday. Morris, who played drums on Joy Division's classic recordings and went on to remain with Bernard Sumner through New Order's decades of reinvention, brings a firsthand perspective on Curtis's songwriting, performance, and lasting influence on electronic music. It's a rare chance to hear Morris reflect on the band's formative era in his own words.
