Radio na Gaeltachta DJ Cian Ó Cíobháin will dedicate his An Taobh Tuthail show to the music of Joy Division next Tuesday at 11pm, to mark the 30th anniversary of Ian Curtis, who died on May 18th, 1980.

"I've been infatuated by Joy Division since my teenage years," he said. "A retrospective and meditation on their work was long overdue and this anniversary seems like a good time to do it."
