On Sundays in March 1979 The Cure played some gigs at The Marquee Club, to open the shows Robert Smith chose some bands of his prefence, among them there was Joy Division and the Scottish band Scars.

There is no recording of the show Joy Division opened but there is a recording of the March 11th show, opened by Fashion, there are also flyers about the shows and handwritten setlists from both Joy Division by Ian Curtis and from The Cure probably by Robert Smith.
