Former New Order bassist Peter Hook has told Gigwise that he plans to work with Liam Gallagher and Ian Brown in the near future.

Since he called time on New Order, Hook has been working alongside Primal Scream bass player Mani and former Smiths’ bassist Andy Rourke on a new project under the name, Freebass.

Hook told Gigwise this week that The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess has just turned in the first vocal for the outfit and that the momentum behind the band is building quickly.

Describing Burgess’ contribution as “fucking great,” he went on to reveals the impressive list of other artists who are scheduled to contribute guest vocals for the band.

“We’ve got other people working on it,” Hook revealed. “Ian Brown is doing one for us, Howard Marks is doing one for us, Pete Wiley, Ian McCulloch, Liam Gallagher.”

Explaining the trio’s motivation for forming Freebass, Hook explained: “We’ve just called friends in really which has been nice.

“I think it’s always good to give something back and we’ve helped them in the past all of us, me and Mani have helped a lot of people and so has Andy Rourke, so it’s been nice to do it.”

As we revealed exclusively on Monday (October 8th), Hook has ended all speculation that New Order would record new music, saying there was “no future” for the band.

  • Sounds like a great combination of musicians apart from Pete Wiley for gods sake, from the might snore.
