Jon Savage

This Searing Light, the Sun and Everything Else: Joy Division – the Oral History.

From 1976 to 1980, Joy Division recorded a total of 53 songs. Forty years on their continued impact on music and popular culture remains as strong as ever. Jon Savage’s book ‘This Searing Light, the Sun and Everything Else’ is the most comprehensive and insightful document on the band and their influence.

Jon will be joining us for a session on Twitter at 2pm on Sunday 26th to take your questions about his critically acclaimed book.
