Joy Division at the Hope and Anchor 27 Dec. 1978

 We were at Joy Division's first gig in London. Link. It was empty as was London at the time. Our bass player Nigel was a student and had a flat at Ladbroke Grove so all the others were back home so we had plenty of room but London was deserted. I wish that we had chatted to the band  - we could have as they were about but we didn't.  I remember noting that the bassplayer had a beard which seemed a little strange.
