Short story:

Joy Division record a live session for BBC Radio One's John Peel Show, in London, England, UK, Europe.

Full article:

Peter Hook (bassist, Joy Division) : Peel was the first person to put us on the radio - we sent him a demo and he became a patron to New Order and Joy Division. It was a long time before we actually met him. We were nervous - we had to have a couple of drinks. He was nervous about meeting us, which flabbergasted us.

His was the only show that you could be satisfied by and infuriated by within the same hour. He was immune to fashion, he just liked what he liked. That's why people loved him - he took chances, and people these days very rarely take chances.
