Earlier I'd bought a 12" of Blue Monday. My girlfriend of the time and I went to the pub across from the venue, and we noticed Hooky and the rest of the band, and his kids (the lad I then saw playing bass for Smashing Pumpkins a few years ago, but he was just a boy then), sat at a table. My girlfriend went to say hello and get the 12" signed, and Hooky invited us to sit with them - Which we did for hours, chatting. The band went off for soundcheck leaving us with their very Manc roadie telling us stories about him stealing generators from the Buzzcocks and lots about Joy Division (I was a very big fan at the time). They put us on the guest list (probably saving us about £13) and at the end of the gig the drummer and keyboardist carried on playing and Hooky came and stood with us at the front of the gig. On the way out Mark E Smith told me to f*** off. Sorry to go off on a tangent, I'd completely forgotten about that, but this picture triggered the memory. He was a very down to earth guy who just wanted to tell funny stories and play his gig. 1 Quote
