'I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?'

Having posted recently on the imminent 'Forever Now' festival, I was wondering why, at a festival celebrating 'post-punk', Peter Hook & The Light are not on the bill. In chronological terms Warsaw/Joy Division were not post-punk, but whe it comes to their music, I can think of very few bands that embody 'post-punk' (for whatever that may be) more than Joy Division. Perhaps Hooky and the band have other commitments at that time in June.
