Paul Morley drops a hint (or not) about Hooky's next proejct — Forum Archive

I was lucky enough (seriously) to be at a Paul Morley hosted 'Tribute to Tony Wilson' Thursday Night at Purcell Room on London's South Bank as part of Ray Davies' Meltdown festival. Anyway in passing Morley made a comment about chatting to Hooky recently about what he was going to do next and how it would piss off Barney and Steve. Morley being Morley then said he had been sworn to silence and then merely mentioned FAC 50/Movement.

Draw as many erroneous conclusions as you want.

BTW OMD ended the evening with a short set which for me at least was fun as last time I saw them was at the Festival of the 10th summer when some young whipper snapper managed to get on the stage with them and started attacking them with a tin tray - happpy days...

errrmm... thanks for the big type. I don't think it's a major surprise that Hooky is going to run through all the albums unless someone shoots him.

FIGHT!! FIGHT!!! :eek:

16 Jun 2011, 17:40

Man, how did Hooky turn from the coolest member of New Order to the lamest?

16 Jun 2011, 21:19

:cry: i believe it when i see & hear (the new project) about it. :deal:

meanwhile, ph was just passing gas... :lol:

Hooky did the Great manchester 10k run recently, maybe the fat one is entering the Olympic Marathon :)

17 Jun 2011, 01:16

what a surprise. and I thought he will be doing "Never Cry Another Tear" with original Hooky bass.

Isn't this common knowledge? I thought it had been mentioned here before that Hooky's gonna do the albums one by one? Hasn't he already said it himself (or was it just a rumour here that's gained some momentum all of its own?)

I'd go.

I'm particularly looking forward to Low-Life in 2014.

Oh aye. In theory then, Jack should do the "BASS MOECHANICHYAAAA" bit in Spooky?

the type didn't look that big on the train last night :banghead:

In the Movement set Hooky might also perform songs like Procession,Mesh,Cries & Whispers,Everything's Gone Green...

17 Jun 2011, 08:01

He's got the right to do whatever he wants, but this is getting slightly ridiculous. Anyway New Order were never really an album band?

Mesh - One of my favourite tunes. So, do it Hooky! Do it!

But leave Rowetta at home.

You gotta be fucking kidding. Let it go. I know the mans gotta make a crust and that, but can't he just tour as a career-whole retrospective with bits from NO, JD, Revenge, Monaco, etc and be done with it. After all, as prime vocalist in Monaco/Revenge, I reckon he could easily justify a couple of years touring like that throwing in the odd push of DNE, Ceremony, and a couple of JD numbers. On the other hand, a yellow vinyl 10" of re-recordings for £450 couldn't be seen in ANY way as an exploitative ripoff. It's not just that Sumner & Morris won't like it... if The Peter Hook Experience tour Movement, then well, artistic integrity be damned. "Money doesn't talk. It swears."

He should call Pottsy and do another Monaco album :nod:

Fuck off. I'd rather go watch Hooky lie back on stage while he underwent an industrial-strength enema.

Thx for the reminder, Diggy. You still owe me a marathon, maybe even 2 with interest. :D

The whole Morley hosted event was excellent and entertaining throughout.

Great to see Kevin Hewick get a moment in the sun, someone other than the usual suspects for a change. KH was humble, honest and realistic about his position with the label - bumped by Fac51. Although Saville is a usual suspect I could listen to him talk Factory all night, even with his white 'summer slacks' on (Copywrite Mickey way).

The film of Wilson, made by Morley's sister Carol, was aired again and noone complained. Watching our 'cultural catalyst' have to muscle his hyperactive, resistant dog, Rod-Hull-with-Emu-like into the back of his car, was comedy gold.

But the stars of the show were lost Factory act OMD. Seeing them play Fac 6 (Electricity/Almost) in the tiny Purcell Rm, cap c.400, on a miniature stage, was surreal. They followed up with Messages, Enola Gay, Maid of Orleans and then a reprise of Electricty at the request of Morley. Mccluskey reckoned they hadn't played Almost since 1979, that didn't stop it sounding amazing. McCluskey remembered playing a London gig supporting ACR and Joy Division when his bass got nicked and he recently discovered that the culprit was Hooky!. Noone in the room was surprised.

NOOL attendees included the now rarely seen Wolfram and Mickey Way. Cerysmatic Factory's John Cooper and Fac-connoiseurs Iain and Bunny Smedley also assessed the proceedings.

Good luck then! I think, I am not there. London Marathon would be nearer for me. :clap:

Well a thread last year mentioned Hooky told a fan (in Australia, I think) he was gonna follow the UP tour with Closer then Movement then PC&L... And as I mentioned in my 'Who knows what's gonna happen in 2011' thread, if he carries on like this then (a) we'll rip the shit out of him for doing it then not be able to resist going along anyway, and (b) Lord help him / us when he reaches Republic.

20 Jun 2011, 03:00

Hmm many ways of looking at this one, On the positive side I was 10 when movement came out and i have never heard NO play any of the stuff, the UP and Closer gigs were good and most of the punters at the gigs enjoyed them. I'm not obliged to go to see Take That so i bloody well don't, I'm not obliged to see BAD LOO or The light but I do and have been rewarded with some NO and JD classics in small venues.

I think given the never to be reunited status of the band this is as good as it is going to get...but no i wont be spending 400 quid on a book peter!!

Well if you don't speak Italian ('cos I know there are some Romans out there) this article claims Hooky himself said the plan is UP - Closer - Still - Movement: http://www.rockol.it/news-219397/Peter-Hook-via-Joy-Division,-dopo-Unknown-ora-c%C3%A8-Closer. No idea what authority it's on though.

Nobody is forcing you to go.

21 Jun 2011, 14:28

so its on then,, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to go Jack.( and dad)

some people look down on me, I hope they like what they see.

21 Jun 2011, 16:12

Noone forced us to buy the stuff/see the gigs the first time around. But we still did. So we've the right to moan. Just as long as we're decent and don't insult people. Not that anyone's gonna invite them down here anyway.

22 Jun 2011, 00:27

I was 'meh' about the Joy Division stuff but Im quite excited about the Movement and P, C & L stuff.

I dont know why. Just am.
