PETER HOOK - Musician
PETER HOOK: was born in Salford in 1956 and is best known as the bassist and co-founder of iconic Manchester bands Joy Division and New Order. Hook formed the band which was to become Joy Division with Bernard Sumner in 1976. Following the death of lead singer Ian Curtis in 1980, the band reformed as New Order, with Hook playing bass with them until his acrimonious departure in 2007. In recent years Peter has been involved in several musical collaborations, currently creating music with his own band ‘Peter Hook and the Light’.
GREATER MANCUNIANS is a Manchester College student led landmark photography project (supported by Manchester City Council). It features those people born, bred, or who have made their home within the current Greater Manchester boundary and who have in some way culturally shaped the city and its surrounding boroughs.
The project will be published and exhibited in a major city centre exhibition in 2021/22.
