“I was at this gig at the derby hall and im ashamed to say I kicked the door in to get out ,the crowd were confused because in those days no one knew how ill ian Curtis was we all thought joy division were taking the piss and I thought myself he was pissed when he came on coz he seemed to fall backwards and get taken off.it was only later when the book came out did we realise that he had just come out of hospital after a suicide attempt and how bad his epilepsy actually was.the thing I remember most about this gig was the 6 ft 6 minny pops singer who looked like elvis Costello ha ha”
