Revisited

Gillian Gilbert and Stephen Morris have decided to stop touring with New Order, leaving Barney as the only original member. Gillian first performed with the boys in 1979 when she took to the stage on keys with Joy Division. Her use of synths with New Order became more prevalent as time went on and after visiting New York, meeting up with Arthur Baker in the early 80s, the group explored their love of electronic music which fused the gap between indie and dance music, leading the way for many other 80s bands to follow.

The Haçienda was an integral part of the indie/dance explosion with DJs such as Dave Haslam playing eclectic sets in the mid 80s, inspiring the likes of Justin Robertson, Laurent Garnier, and the Chemical Brothers. In 1990, he played a set at Spike Island with The Stone Roses as well as taking the Haç brand to the USA, touring along with Graeme Park.

You can catch both Dave & Graeme playing together in Leeds at REVISITED: Graeme Park / Dave Haslam - DAYCLUBBING on July 25th, the day after Dave plays with Gillian & Stephen in Warrington.
