New Order -Ike Yard poster found ...

Interesting email from John Cooper @ Cerysmatic this week -
someone found an old poster for the show IY did with New Order at the Ukrainian National Home bk in 1981 (or '82 !).
It says Factory & Blind Dates - that was Ruth Polsky's booking moniker and has 'New Order' hand drawn by your's truly.

Can barely remember doing it !
It should surface soon enough.
RIP Ruth Polsky ...
