The band wanted to complete the line-up with someone they knew well and whose musical skills and style were compatible with their own. Gretton suggested Morris’s girlfriend Gillian Gilbert , and she was invited to join the band in early October 1980 as keyboardist and guitarist. She made her live debut with the band at the Squat in Manchester on 25 October 1980. As a quartet, New Order subsequently re-recorded “Ceremony”, which was released as a twelve-inch single in September 1981.
