Im sure if anyone could squeeze it in, it'd be you... aren't you legally bound to make such an effort in return for being a Viking?
Well, of course I'd attend.
I just hope it doesn't fall on a date when I'm supposed to be elsewhere!! 
I honestly though twhen I saw tem in Blackpool it would be the last time, but a proper fairwell, just what Tony would have wanted, I've never struggled to get tickets for NO before but I imagain these will be like gold dust

seen the date?
Yup. Doesn't matter when they play it'd clash with summat else I'm doing. 
The more I read about this, the more I think it will be later rather than sooner. Like maybe the first anniversary of Tony's passing, or around his birthday (whenever that was)This will give Bernard time to relearn the words to Face Up and Sunrise. The rob Gretton gig was five years later...

Same date as Re:Order! 
Hope this happens though, would be fitting and apt for the band to settle any differences in order to pay homage to the great man.
One last hurrah for The Vikings.

Wise move

Nah, they won't let Alan Wise anywhere near it after the fuck ups last year!
After missing blackpool, hooky djing in preston and waffling at the urbis, no matter what happens i will be there, even if it's just for the lads to snort my ashes!
NO sooner have the original band members of New Order gone their separate ways than rumours surface that the group may be reunited - for a one-off tribute to the late, great Factory Records boss Tony Wilson.
The legendary Manc band split earlier this year after bass player Peter Hook announced he was no longer working with singer Bernard Sumner and drummer Stephen Morris.
But Peter has now revealed that he has discussed the possibility of reforming the band for a one-off tribute to Tony - the man who first signed the band to his Factory label in their former incarnation, Joy Division.
Hooky told the M.E.N: "It's very typical New Order to split up and then get back together again just like that isn't it?
"The idea has been mooted by Oliver (Tony Wilson's son) - that was when it was talked about.
"And the thing is, for Tony, I'd do anything.
"So, I'm not ruling anything out - I never do really."

Couldn't they just headline Belgium on the 15th December? 
I received the news this morning (thanks Burt). I reckon it will be at Manchester V Cancer, but of course I could be wrong. I would want it to be a full New Order gig though, not a couple of songs.
Either way - woo hoo!

DJ's pickering etc.
* interview suggestion - now Wilson's gone, one of the nicest, most interesting people left in Manchester is Bruce Mitchell. Has he been interviewed ever by NOOL? Lucid, fascinating and with a historical perspective to challenge Hooky's.
Last time I heard Tony Wilson was on his XFM Sunday show interviewing Bruce,and it was a good interview.
Top line-up by the way!
Maybe Gillian can also join the band for this gig...this ONE 'LAST' time?!!!! I think that would contribute to a fitting closure to the New Order 'story'.
what do you think??

Bring some brekky?
That means your puttin me up then?
nice one J
i'm giving it serious thought to make it to this one. that is of course, if my upcoming business ventures are sucessful.
Won't miss it if it happens. 
Although if they decide to follow it up with more gigs, it won't be that speshul anymore.
