Last week Rhys Thomas interviewed Simon Day; this week Simon Day puts the questions to Peter Hook (Hook's on the left in the picture), best known for playing bass in Joy Division and New Order.
The interview covers the early days of punk, Joy Division becoming New Order after the death of Ian Curtis, and Hook's current DJing career:
"I thought DJs were arrogant and overpaid", he says, "So when I became one I fitted right in".
You can listen to the Rhys Thomas-Simon Day and the Simon Day-Peter Hook episodes of Chain Reaction until this Friday on the Radio 4 website when Peter Hook puts poet and fellow Salfordian John Cooper Clarke in the hot seat.
Paul Murphy is the Editor of the Radio 4 blog
- Chain Reaction - Simon Day and Peter Hook is available as part of the Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4 podcast until this Friday when a new one will become available.
