If there’s one bass player you always recognize when he pulls his strings it’s PETER HOOK also known as HOOKY. The man who created a sound that was fundamental and essential for Joy Division as well as for New Order. The man who plays his beloved instrument as if it has six strings instead of four. Hooky‘s resonance is unique and ageless as he still proves, for years now, with his band The Light, on stages around the globe.

Today the Manchester legend celebrates his 66th birthday.
Turn Up The Volume picked 3 great Hooky moments for this
festive occasion.

– LOVE WILL TEAR US APART –
(Joy Division classic played live with The Light)

– ATMOSPHERE –
(Joy Division classic – with awesome soul voice Rowetta)

– TEMPTATION –
(New Order gem)
