Peter Hook - Episode 54 | Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt - Podcast

This week on Rockonteurs we speak to the wonderful Peter Hook. Peter is one of those musicians that really deserves about 4 episodes as he’s had so many incredible chapters, but we’ll try and cover off as much of his journey as we can. From Joy Division, to New Order, the Hacienda to his band ‘Peter Hook and the Light’.
This is an open, honest and heartfelt conversation about falling in love with music, falling out of love with your band mates, and the continued drive and desire to play the music you created.
We discuss Unknown Pleasures, Closer, Ian Curtis, Regret, and Hooky’s live dates for 2022 among other topics. He is an epic storyteller.

This is exactly one of the episodes I hoped for👌👍

[@jonathanmoody2907]

I love these interviews - educational, engaging, and often hilarious .

[@MosherBear]

I could hear Pete talk about his career for hours. I count myself lucky that I saw Peter Hook and The Light perform both Unknown Pleasures and Closer live.

[@nickroll1502]

Excellent as usual, hope there is a part 2!

[@porridgeable]

I've just read his first two books back-to-back. It's such a great story and he tells it brilliantly.

First time I've heard.Rockonteurs. What a fa tactic introduction. I'm going to go back through previous episodes, I hope they're as good.

[@nickroll1502]

You won't be disappointed, they're all excellent!

[@nickd.6365]

Great interview thanks.... In many ways New Order are now Manchester's Pink Floyd. A part two of this, would be fantastic please.

[@Noelito40]

Lovely 72 minutes spent down memory lane. The honesty, humour, and self-deprecation were wonderful..

[@TheWillHadcroft]

Loved this chat. I originally herald from Little Hulton, so nice to hear the place referenced. Always enjoy listening to Mr Hook.

Better days....the punk era was our greatest ever!

[@Bricameron]

Working class stories. For a while there we were Kings and Queens.

[@cosmicdrifter287]

Hooky is cookin'

[@grizcuz]

I'm left wondering if the time Hooky and Gary Kemp met that they wouldn't talk about. Was the time that a particularly inebriated lead singer found himself at a Spandau gig somewhere with the rest of the band. And had to be dragged from a balcony overlooking the stage because he was just about to urinate on the performers below?

That 54 reminds me of waiting in Argos for my kettle. Just saying.
