Stephen Morris Profile

Role : The Drummer

According to popular myth Steve was consistently the target of intolerable scrutiny from Joy Division producer Martin "Zero" Hannett who wouldn't let up until he managed to capture the perfect drum sound. Rumour has it that Hannett actually made Morris disemble his drumkit and reassemble it inside a toilet in order for it to produce a much more interesting sound.

Steve was recruited to the band in 1977 after a batch of troublesome drummers. Whilst being a highly capable drummer - Morris is reverred for being a pioneer of the use of synths during the early part of the 80's.

In case you didn't know by now he is the long-term husband of New Order keyboardist Gillian Gilbert
