Also a story in the diary section of the Herald about New Order at the Barrowland. Which mentions Hookys upcoming Gig Good Publicity work See you all there What time are people arriving?

Not sure what the craic is yet, no times have been arranged - I think I'm safe in saying a few of us will be about mid afternoon.

Grahame, I also forgot to point out the Record states that Pat Nevin will be doing a DJ set next week, you know what my memory's like, but I'm sure you said it was next month. He should be magic an all, I'd expect a Joy Division / Neworder song or two

Top banana - just sent you a message, see you the morra

Pity you cannae make it Ally, maybe on the next tour

So what did we all think?

Good 2 c Muffy, Shug, Shades, 4.45, Alan Jarvis & Graham Ferguson down there. Hooky played a load of good stuff including 24 hr ppp, SLC by Grace Jones & a bunch of NO tracks... Regret, Crystal, 60 mph, True Faith, mixes of Blue Monday & Temptation. Then a new song! I offered him a fiver for the CD with the new song on it but he wouldnt have it ;-) sensible fella.

Special thanks 2 Graham for looking after us this weekend. It was appreciated mate!.

Oh what a night

Late December 1963

Absolutlely cracking night out __ I will fill everyone in tomorrow.

Just a couple of words first. Peter Hook - Fucking legend!!!!!!

Quality night. Always a pleasure to see everyone again!

New track at the end of the night, but can't say I liked it that much on first listen. Reminded me of Such A Good Thing for some reason? Mind, I never like NO tracks on first listen!!! Rest of the set was superb though - Regret, Crystal, Temptation, True Faith, Tranmission, etc. Plus a bizarre LWTUA which mixed the lines 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and 'Love Will Keep Us Together'. The Grace Jones SLC also had Curtis mixed into it.

Just left Shuglet at Luton airport and he looks a wreck of a young man. Bless. Didn't get his head down till 7.30 this morn' and sat up with the Hookmeister half the night asking questions but not remembering any of the answers.

And I've got some CRACKING photos to put on the site tomorra!

I am alive, but only just.

Fuckin wrecked last night, so first off I'd like to apologise to Hooky for talking pure shite and asking mad questions. If Grahame can remind me what I asked I'd be much obliged, I do remember saying that we should have Age Of Consent back on the set list - I can remember Muffy asking about The Perfect Kiss. The rest will hopefully come back to me. Hooky was a fuckin gent, God only knows how many questions were put his way, but he did his best to answer all of them. Baldrick phoned me at 2.30am and I passed the phone to Hooky who told Baldrick to fuck off. Quality.

A MASSIVE thank you to Grahame, not only for putting me up, but also for putting on one of the most memorable nights ever

Twas also great to meet up with Jarvo, Johnny Boy Giles, The new improved Muffster, Johan Scott, Shades and everyone else. I did say hello to Pat Nevin - unfortunately I missed Craig Burley.

Top, top night!!!!

I am away for a kip.
