This hugely acclaimed play tells the story of four ordinary Manchester lads who came together to form one of the most influential bands of all time; Joy Division. Following the untimely death of lead singer Ian Curtis, the band went on to enjoy huge success as New Order. The show is written by the award-winning actor Brian Gorman, who received much praise for his portrayal of Factory Records boss Tony Wilson. He guides the audience through the heart and soul of both the band and the city. The result is a spellbinding journey of love, passion, grief, and of course music, drawing inspiration from the enigmatic lyrics of Ian Curtis, with a soundtrack featuring iconic hits of the late 1970’s UK music scene, including of course Joy Division. The play is directed by Brian Gorman and Lauren Greenwood, who plays Debbie Curtis.

Overlooking the hustle and bustle of LA’s Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon became the beating heart of a musical revolution during the 1960s and 70s - a secluded hillside community where songwriting giants gathered, collaborated and shaped the sound of a generation. This iconic enclave was home to some of the most influential artists in music history, including JAMES TAYLOR, THE BYRDS, AMERICA, EAGLES, THE DOORS, CAROLE KING, JACKSON BROWNE, CAT STEVENS, JAMES TAYLOR, LINDA RONSTADT, CSNY and JONI MITCHELL. Now brought to life by a powerful live six-piece band with vocals, the first half of the concert celebrates the spirit of Laurel Canyon through the unforgettable songs from these legendary artists and many others who defined the era. In the second half, the show dives deeper into the music that made history, performing CAROLE KING’S 1971 masterpiece _'TAPESTRY' _in its entirety. Of all the albums released at this time in the Laurel Canyon community, Tapestry, arguably, sums up this counterculture best. It is a statement of togetherness, love in all its forms, feminism, and endless hope for the future. An experience dedicated to a golden age of songwriting - raw, intimate and timeless.

Literary phenomenon John Cooper Clarke is a British cult hero. Known as the “Godfather of Punk Poetry” and the original people’s poet, John’s cultural influence spans literature, music and fashion. From creating some of the most iconic poetry of the modern era, including the world’s most popular wedding poem “I Wanna Be Yours” (which has over a billion streams in its incarnation as a hit record by the Arctic Monkeys) to sharing his life story through his best selling memoir of the same name which is full of John’s much-loved sardonic wit and hilarious ponderings on modern life. John is referenced as a major influence not just by the Arctic Monkeys but also by artists across the globe… As well as musicians like Alex Turner, The Sleaford Mods and Plan B, his legendary number “Evidently Chickentown” plays out the penultimate episode of The Sopranos. Watching John Cooper Clarke perform is an opportunity to see a living legend at the top of his game. Doctor John Cooper Clarke shot to prominence in the 1970s. Captivating audiences with his unique poetry and delivery style, he clawed his way up from working men’s clubs and cabaret venues in his native Salford and Manchester, to become one of the most prolific figures in punk. John’s early live shows were renowned occasions, and headline gigs were supported by many soon-to-be superstars including Joy Division, New Order and Duran Duran, as well as playing as special guest on shows by the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and The Clash. After the release of his seminal album on CBS “Snap, Crackle and Bop” where John’s poems were put to music by the legendary music producer Martin Hannett, he was firmly established as one of the most important artists of the Punk era. His recorded album was followed by the release of his first collection 10 Years in an Open Necked Shirt. The book is one of the best-selling poetry anthologies ever in the UK, Canada and Australia. As relevant and vibrant as ever, John Cooper Clarke’s influence is just as visible in contemporary pop culture, with his trademark ‘look’ resonating with fashion-conscious individuals across all demographics and his poetry features in the UK national curriculum syllabus. Having had a groundbreaking effect on modern music, his influence can be eard within the social observations of the Arctic Monkeys, amongst many others. His sense of humor resounds throughout his career, and his latest live show is a mix of classic verse, new material, hilarious ponderings on modern life, good honest gags, riffs and chat.
