Mark n Lard have just revealed that New Order didnt rise from the ashes of Joy Division as we were all lead to believe.
Instead it was Freddie and The Dreamers who became New Order as Lard revealed, quoting that "Barney still does that same dance as when he was in The Dreamers...."

"Pete Birrell (bass) & Bernie Dwyer (drums)" Hmmm it's all falling into place....
Mark Radcliffe really is a card. I love the way he tells that Martin Hannett producing The Freshies story on the 24HR PP DVD bonus bits.
Whilst watching the Saturday Live session on vid the other night (tip of the hat once more to Al Jarvis and his double-decker VCR) I was surprised to notice that the sound engineer for that very session was none other than Mr Radcliffe himself.
never noticed that, i'll have to have another look. Mark n Lard are piss funny, the best thing on radio by a long way.
