Since his estrangement from New Order in 2007, Peter Hook has worked on numerous other projects, not least touring regularly with the songs of his former band and their predecessors Joy Division, the iconic Manchester outfit he was also a key part of.

The 68-year-old is currently on the road with Substance, the title of single collections of both his former bands, with November appearances in Dublin, Galway and Belfast. Fans will have a chance to hear songs that haven't been performed live by any of the original members in over 30 years.
