News comes to us of a new club opening in Manchestah. New Order's Peter Hook and Ben Kelly, who designed the original Hacienda, plan to start up the Factory Club (or Fac251 as I heard on Radio 6) in the old Factory offices. Speaking on Radio 6 Hook said that he wanted to open the club to give himself something to do 'in his dotage' and that they chose the Factory office 'because it's full of some lovely memories'. The building has previously been the venue for Paradise Factory and until recently the Warehouse Project. Hook plans to use all three floors of the venue, with the middle level hosting a club and the lower level used as a 'gigging venue' with a capacity of 350. There's a provisional plan to open the clubs doors on Jan 29th, with Hook himself playing live, along side a guest band.
