Bernard Sumner says sorry
'24 Hour Party People', the film about the Manchester music scene, is just a few months away now from release. It's the story of the Hacienda night-club, Factory Records, New Order and The Happy Mondays. It features a range of British talent including Steve Coogan, Ralf Little and John Simm who plays Bernard Sumner from New Order.
Radio 1 caught up with Bernard at the Muzik Awards and he exclusively told us about his embarrassing meeting with John: "I was a bit drunk, a bit worse for wear and he was a nice guy but he was kind of staring at me, you know and I guess what he was doing was studying me to see what I was like when I was drunk."
In fact Bernard had even more grovelling to do: "I met Steve Coogan later on in the night and he couldn't actually get a word in edgeways, I do apologise for that."
'24 Hour Party People' is due out in February 2002.
