Talk about coincidences! I write about ear-plugs, pop my I-Pod on shuffle, and what comes on?
Deaf, by those old Manchester rockers Crispy Ambulance!
And it's weirder than that...I'd just come back from Bury Met after putting up my Joy Division exhibition.
The band played there when it was called the Derby Hall, on the night of the infamous "riot" caused by the non-appearance of Ian Curtis. Who stood in for him? My old mate Alan Hempsall..lead singer with Crispy Ambulance! Spooky, or what!?
Anyway, catch the exhibition at The Met until the end of March. I Remember Nothing...20+ shots of Joy Division at Bowdon Vale Youth Club, March 1979.
