CityLife

Based on his book 'The Hacienda - How Not To Run A Club', Manchester legend Peter Hook tells the story of the iconic club, New Order, Joy Division and the Madchester scene, from the haze of 80's acid house to the 90's gangs, drugs and corporate greed. An engaging raconteur, Hook's personal account of the people (Tony Wilson, Bernard Sumner, Shaun Ryder) and the era is scarier and stranger than anyone could imagine - a tale of fun, success, lost money, confusion and true faith. The talk features multi-media footage and a Q&A session.
