The Music & Legacy of Joy Division with Paul Morley/Kevin Cummins -

Spare ticket, face value, its reserved seating for this sold out event which is part of Brighton Festival - "Legendary photographer Kevin Cummins and music journalist Paul Morley discuss the band that defined the post-punk era. Kevin Cummins was there to document Joy Division’s brief yet transcendent reign. Similarly, the extensive writings of Paul Morley (Joy Division: Piece by Piece) capture what Morley describes as the unique ‘mood, atmosphere and ephemeral terror’ that surrounded the band. Join them as they set the music/legacy of Joy Division in a contemporary context, asking whether it is possible for today’s bands to evoke the same level of emotional intensity".
