Kurzbeschreibung
Eine Achterbahnfahrt durch Erfolg, Geld, Verwirung und wahren Glauben - dies sind die verrückten und und spannenden Erinnerungen von Robert Hook, dem Mitbegründer der Bands Joy Division und New Order, an die Ära des Manchester Hacienda Clubs. Als junger naiver Musiker eröffneten er und seine Bandkollegen von New Order den Club - und erlebten eine Zeit, die weit trauriger, lustiger, furchterregender und seltsamer war, als man es sich vorstellen kann. Alle Protagonisten - Barney, Tony Wilson und Shaun Ryder - haben hier ihr Stelldichein, wenn Robert Hook erzählt, wie es wirklich gewesen ist.
Über den Autor
Peter Hook was born in 1956 in Salford. He was a founder member of Joy Division and New Order and is now one of the most sought-after DJs in the world. He lives in Cheshire.

Hooky can write
12. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is one entertaining book: it recounts the problems Hooky and New Order and Tony Wilson, let's say everyboy in Factory, ran into by running one of the most famous clubs around. For thso who do not know: Peter Hook is/was the bassplayer with Joy Divisoin/New Order and their success financed Factory records and then the famous Hacienda. As he calls it: how not to run a club. Because despite being successful and legendary, the club not only went bankrupt but dragged all of New Order and Factory with it. Hook describes all this wonderfully; it is amazing that such a talented lot of people were actually not able to control their financial destiny in such a way. one has to read this book, really. I for one allways loved Factory records and together with 24 hour party people this will partly make you understand what happened to that great record label.

Forgive me Hooky!
18. Oktober 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'm a huge fan of New Order, Joy Division and the whole Factory Music world. That's why I would recommend this book only to the diehard fan.
The book chronicles Peter Hook's (bassist New Order) experience of Manchester during the roaring '80s and early gay '90s. The book says it's about running a club, but even Hook is honest about not being much of a manager. The first half of the book is mostly about Hook being drugged out of his head and barely remembering the multiple times that his band was fleeced of money in order to keep the club open. Which gets me to the writing: fifth grade level. Hook writes in a stream of consciousness, conversational way. It's entertaining, but often difficult to understand. He uses a lot of incomplete sentences and phrases which allows the reader to try connect them into something resembling an idea.
Having said that, for the true fan, you will love this book for the little stories that pop out.

Madchester
23. Februar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
"It felt like admitting defeat if you went home."
For much of the 80's and early 90's Manchester UK was the center of music and youth culture. And the center of 'Madchester' was The Hacienda.
The Hacienda was funded largely by the band New Order, which Peter Hook was the bassist of, and in this book he recounts the history of the Hacienda from it's inception in 1982 to it's demise in 1997.
The subtitle is - How to Not Run a Club, and he aint kidding. It seems like everything they could do wrong they did. The Hacienda was run more like a collective or something, not a business. The staff drank and took drugs while on duty. Management wasn't interested in containing costs or maximizing revenue. Stuff got stolen, lost. For a time they kept money in a file cabinet because no one could remember the combination to the safe. Then the money got stolen and because it should have been in the safe the loss wasn't covered by insurance. Typical.
On the other hand, it sounds like it was an incredible place. It really took off in 1988, when ecstacy, Acid-house, and raving created a 2 year golden age of good times. Reading this book made me wish I had been there. There were some incredible all night parties and adventures going on. Peter recalls many a drug fueled shenanigan.
A super fun and entertaining book.
