Just stuck a few photos on the web from Sunday at G's bar Tom Tom. They can be found >> HERE <<. I'm sure I had loads of all of us but they just seem to come down to Shug & Hooky, Shug & Hooky again, etc?
This one really is the pic of the bunch though - just to be there and seeing Hooky motioning behind Shuglet's head as I snapped this was worth the entire trip alone!
Now, to a stranger, which one do you think looks like the star.....?????
[Great photo, Al: presumably Shuglet fancies his chances of filling Phil's shoes next time round???]
Fookin' hell: if you look at the complete gallery, Hooky & Shug look like (a) best mates, or (b) incongruously aged siamese twins. Either that or a father & son team....

Pat Nevin gave him a swerve. Twice. Very funny!

Ouch!! I remember quite a few years ago when Pat played for Everton and he was on the local radio station doing a sort of desert island disc thing and Ceremony was his favourite song, or in his top five anyway. A rare playing of the Ceremony 45 too.
Wonderful! How come there isn't any of you and Hooky - Al?
Has Hooky got another finger injury, what does he do with them?!

Plays b...Nah! too easy.
How miserable do I look in that photie?!!!
Forgot all about Hooky's finger actually. Yeah, he snapped his tendons pulling on his sock (this is true). Says he can't play the geetar for six weeks.
Highlights of the after hours conversation downstairs are sketchy and some of them I ain't gonna repeat! As I recall though
Story about him being fifth in a list of candidates to play bass for the Rolling Stones (somebody help me out with the details on that one, he told it twice!).
He doesn't ever visit fan sites cos they scare him (quite right!)
Don't expect to hear AOC live again. Ever.
...and to be honest of a three hour pished Q&A session of which he took every single question thrown at him (including some quite close to the bone) that's about all I can remember/repeat!
He was an absolute gent though. Down to earth and accomodating.
Mega apologies to the rest of the on-line crew who got locked out though at the end. In case you were't aware the coppers eventually shut us down after there third visit and it led to all sorts of grief and politics between the cops, me, my security and my manager. Total pain in the hole. Sorry again.

The only other one I had of you, you had your eyes shut!
Quality night, mate, thanks again.
I managed to get lost wandering back to Clyde Street after yours. When I eventually found a black-cab it cost me about 10 notes to get back into town. How lost is that? Not the nicest of places to go walkabout at 2am either! No offence, mate.
PS. Got an e-mail from Hooky's PR yesterday afternoon saying that he described the gig as "the best ever" when she spoke to him at 9.30AM sitting in Glasgow Airport with a Bloody Mary! Hats off to everybody who made it so f***ing mental!

:( that is sad....
I am so pissed off I couldn't get along that night - just back from a week in the North of Scotland - so near but so far....Would have been nice to meet a few Noolers and see Jonathan Scott again after what must be 15 years.
never mind - next time.

So you may think, but remember last time he did it making the bed
I can see a film script there, Scene: Backstage at a gig somewhere in deepest Scotland
Shug walks in, "we're not worthy, we're not worthy!"
Hooky, picking up an empty bottle "The name Glasgow, or Glasgae comes from an ancient Pictish word for......"
Glad to see you had a good night, hope theres an event or two in the future where we can have a bigger get together.
Oh, those are some great pics...thanks for sharing them with those of us that are stuck over here!
Has to be said that G provided a great evening. His usual hospitality and the presence of Mr Hook (who appeared to be having the time of his life by the way) made for a very special event. We (trying to be fair here) tried hard but pretty much failed to make tits of ourselves thanks to Peters admirable endurance...and if that WAS a new track I heard at the end then all I can say is "New Order you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind NEW ORDER!" but you'll have to wait 'til "...March..." to hear what I'm on about....
Hooky has long hair again. Things are looking up then for the new album and tour. I expect to see a ponytail on stage anytime then.
So, J****** S**** is still alive I can see... what's up with him?
And I need proofs that Shug and Muffy aren't related...

Me and Shuglet related!!?? In his wet ones!! I am 6'4" of prime Scotch beef! Shuglet? Well, he's just Shuglet. 'Nuff said!
The night itself was top drawer. 'Twas great to be back in Vegas, gettin' pished, and sittin' boozin' with the legend that is Peter Hook. The guy is 'pure gen up' as we say in Vegas. Fielded every question without bother.
Was great to see the onliners too. Grahame's new bar is top class, so if any of you fettlers find yourselves in Glasgow, get down there and say hello. Big thanks to the G Man for organising it. Top man G.

Well of course...I suppose; but it's nice to be recognised at all so thank you Nic! During the "Shug - Hook" summit he (Hook that is) stated that the album is to be released in March - sadly, of what year, i am unsure. He went on to explain all manner of background details to MANY New Order and Joy Division related tales that we all know parts of but now know much more. There still appears to be alot of life left in New Order - more that I would have thought if I'm honest - so that was good to hear and there is most certainly ALOT of life left in 48 year old Hooky - he went to great lengths to repeatedly mention his age and how well he though he'd done through the years - and we agreed en masse believe me!
