ANDREW BAKER

31 year old big Scouser currently having a mid life crisis career-wise. Lives in Astley nr. Leigh just 8 miles from Hooky's birthplace - Salford. ( So weird seeing band members doing ordinary things in and around Manchester ) Funniest New Order moment : Hooky showing off his new tattoo on his arse backstage at the Reading Festival

They always offered something a little bit different to the rest at the time. I remember wating for the local record shop to open when Republic came out and despairing at college when the batteries ran out during a good tune and still those opening chords from Regret never fail to stir many a college time memory moment. New Order in recent years have often been a window to my soul, a vortex to a time when mortgages, car tax, community tax and life insurance were a mere thought in a far off distant life..........
