Welcome to our special '50 years of Punk' Known Pleasures celebration. In this episode we ask the question 'Who Invented Punk'? Was it indeed invented by some crazed lunatic in a laboratory? Did it gradually evolve from a Big Bang like event? Was it intelligently designed by a higher being? And can it be attributed to a specific country or even zip code? One thing is for sure..... no one will agree on the answer.

Just two albums, one almost-hit single, a handful of TV appearances, 100-or-so gigs: all of them 40-plus years ago. Ancient history! So, why are we - and so many others across the globe - still talking about Joy Division? Today, we at Known Pleasures attempt to disentangle Factory from fiction as we try to understand how this unassuming quartet - armed only with a startlingly brilliant array of songs, and a genius, sometimes deeply eccentric producer managed this miraculous feat.  Video version of this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi9fH7wcLzU Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063297726030 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KnownPleasuresPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knownpleasurespodcast/ Twitter: @pleasuresknown The Known Pleasures Theme Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvn2bfFxC-0

Midge Ure's career crosses many paths. From the teen pop of Slik to the punk royalty of The Rich Kids. From the synth pioneers Visage to the synth rock of Ultravox. Stopping to help out Thin Lizzy in '79 and creating the Band Aid classic in '84, his journey has taken him around the world. Today we talk to Midge about his career, his music and everything in between.

In this episode we interview the Head Of The Church, the Supreme Leader of this Guitar Driven Chapter and the Archbishop of melodic melancholy, Steve Kilbey.
