New Order out of order, says Peter Hook
THE last time I spoke to Peter Hook, the iconic bass player who made his name with post-punk heroes Joy Division and electro-pop legends New Order, he ended our chat with a precious gem of an anecdote.
It was one from the vaults, a tale of fighting and rock ānā roll. The Playhouse, Edinburgh. Some time in 1986.
Hooky urged me not to press for the exact month because the memory was hazy, but he did describe it as the best gig New Order ever played.
