TRANSMISSION – The Sound Of Joy Division + The Velvets

The Best of Unknown Pleasures / Closer Set & other iconic classics

7.30pm Saturday 2nd September – Bedford Esquires

Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulates the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era.

Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success.

The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching. They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Forty years on you can still relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission, the UKs number one Joy Division tribute act.

Tickets priced £12 are on sale from Seetickets from 10am on Friday 13th January and available in person from the local outlets of Bedford Esquires and Slide Record Shop from the 18th January.
