Finally, apparently TS covered Joy Division's "Candidate" at the Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival gig at the ABC in Glasgow on 9/10/08. It also sounds like they collaborated on Jack Lee/Blondie's "Hanging on the Telephone". If anyone has audio/video please post the links!

Here' s what the mhfestival.com website said before the event:

"We've invited, over two consecutive evenings, some of Scotland's best known and loved musicians to play together. Performing both individually and together, they are sure to create two very special and unique nights. Eager to explore personal and emotional relationships between music, mental health, creativity and recovery all the artists involved are committed to generously contributing to the festival and its aims.

Vitamin A (Thurs 9): Guitarist Rod Jones (Idlewild) has invited fellow musicians Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Sons and Daughters and The Twilight Sad to perform individual sets and collaborate as part of a not to be missed and perhaps never to be seen again 'supergroup' with special guests. Weaving in themes from our film events, expect Joy Division or Johnny Cash numbers as part of the mix."
