With Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert not touring anymore, this now leave fans of New Order a choice between Bernard Sumner's New Order with himself as the only original member or Peter Hook and The Light band. Sound familiar?

Re: New Order
I have seen Hooky a few times and really enjoyed that. Have not seen New Order in decades.

Re: New Order
Also, Hooky always seemed mostly a good laugh and an all round good egg, whereas Bernard always appears a sulky, grumpy cunt.Cricklewood wrote: 05 Jul 2026, 10:40 .... Sound familiar?

Re: New Order
Seen Hooky live a few times and he's very entertaining. I remember the setlist being very good value for money

Re: New Order
Last time l saw NO, Hooky was in them and they were touring the Low Life album. It was a bit of a legendary gig at the Glasgow Barrowland, February 6, 1985. Tickets cost just £4, and the performance included the live debut of "Elegia," which the band dedicated to the city of Glasgow.

Re: New Order
saw them in Oxford 1987 the day i passed my driving test. Great gig.
Last was at the O2 and it was horrible. the venue is terrible.
They havent really been that prolific for a while now. Last album was good but maybe they are done.....?
Great legacy regardless
