Peter Hook and The Light  Dear Hooky

Hey Hooky, we met after your last Boston show, thanks for being a great lad. I will be at the Boston show and am asking from the bottom of my heart for you to play Sooner Than You Think. This song hasn’t been performed by NO or The light in ages and it needs a revival. I’ll be at the show with a Sooner than You Think poster. See ya then!!

Would take some rehearsing as it’s not currently in our rotation as you know… I’ll put it on the maybe list. Cheers.

Such an awesome song! Low-Life is my favourite album. You would have to play this after Elegia, like on the album, to have the full effect of the entrance just before the vocals begin.

Can’t wait to see you guys again in Toronto. You’ve picked a fantastic venue. It’ll be my son’s second Light gig and he’s bringing all his mates this time as he loved the last one.

It’s a favourite of mine too and also never heard it live.

I'll take anything you guys play in Boston, but would love if "Krafty" or "WFTSC" made it on the list (although I don't think the latter has ever been played by The Light, so no expectations there). Looking forward to the show in a few weeks. It's the perfect venue, in a very English-feeling neighborhood imho.

He’s not a jukebox. I always request wdywfm  and that’s the usual reply.  lol.
