The remaining members went on to form New Order, and have achieved much critical and commercial success.

Transmission are one of the leading Joy Division tributes and seek to emulate the band’s dark cavernous sound.

Support comes from Mark Charlesworth and Roisin Fiona. Mark will be playing tracks from his new Picture Is Incomplete EP.

Tickets priced £8 plus booking fee are available at www.53degress.net.
