????Peter Hook will write the official story of New Order's Hacienda nightclub, he has confirmed.
The bass player in the enormously influential Manchester band has begun work on the project, which he believes will show how The Hacienda "changed the world of clubbing".
Bought by New Order and Tony Wilson, the owner of Factory Records, the club enjoyed enormous success during the acid house boom in the early '90s but proved financially disastrous for all parties.

The film "24 Hour Party People", starring Steve Coogan, documented The Hacienda's involvement in the career of New Order and the 'Madchester' scene at the time.

Hook does not currently have a publisher for the book but has decided now is the time to tell the official story, which he is considering calling "How Not To Run A Club".

Hook told The Manchester Evening News: "I realised I'd bored my friends for years with tales from The Hacienda so now I thought I'd bore the general public with it.

"But once I started to get into the writing I realised what a huge endeavour it was, and that I was going to have to work on it properly to do it justice."

"To us it's a tale of woe, but The Hacienda did change the world of clubbing. Even though it took me to the edge and it took Factory Records to the edge. The stories are legion and legendary."
