Peter Hook showcases previously-unseen Joy Division footage on UK tour

Peter Hook will be showcasing previously-unseen Joy Division and New Order footage as part of a new show set to tour the UK in April. Billed "An Evening Of Unknown Pleasures", the nights will see Hook give talks on his past bands and Factory Records along with the footage, plus live music. Fans will be able to quiz the bassist as part of the evening. Ex-drug smuggler and author Howard Marks will act as compere for the night.

English bass player Peter "Hooky" Hook (born 13 February 1956) was a co-founder of the post-punk band Joy Division along with Bernard Sumner in the mid-1970s. Following the death of lead singer Ian Curtis, the band reformed as New Order, and Hook played bass with them throughout their career until his much debated departure in 2007. He has also recorded an album with Revenge ("One True Passion") and two albums with Monaco ("Music For Pleasure" and "Monaco") as bassist, keyboardist and lead vocalist.
