Peter Hook & The Light gave me the best Wednesday evening I have had in a long time. We all had smiles on our faces from the most well crafted, well rehearsed fan service you'll ever find.

On the 44th anniversary of Ian Curtis’s suicide, it feels a little strange to be once again experiencing Peter Hook and his very own embodiment of Joy Division and New Order in Tamaki Makaurau. It now takes a lot more than one hand to count how many times Hooky has visited and performed in Aotearoa.

There wasn’t a sniff of karaoke about the performance at any point.
