    Episode 7: Peter Hook

    Andy Reilly chats to Peter Hook ahead of the upcoming Peter Hook and The Light gig at Edinburgh Corn Exchange on 14th November 2025.

    The gig will see the band play New Order’s Get Ready in full so there’s lots of interesting chat about the making of that particular album, and insights into his relationship with Bernard Sumner.

    He also refects on thinking of Ian Curtis while touring the world.

    We get the scoop on his upcoming book (you heard it here first), plus he indulges in some Oasis gossip, and talks about being inspired by Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young to keep playing live.


    Episode 6: Georgie Jones

    Natalie Jayne Clark chats to poet Georgie Jones about her work, the surprising generosity of Pitbull, reflecting on the Spice Girls and Girl Power, writing ‘off the page’, speaking about the everyday 90% of real life that gets missed from our online life, Frazzles as a favourite snack, and more. Georgie also recites one of her poems, from And The World Spins Anyway (out now on Burning Eye Books).
