I've been meaning to reply for days, sorry about that!
I used to know Martin Hannett in the years leading up to his death in 1991 and, through him, I met quite a few well known people on the local music scene. Sadly, though, I never met Barney or Hookey or The Other Two because the rift was far too great by then. Martin was one of the sharpest and brightest people I have ever met, and his squalid end was such a waste of a life and a unique talent. R.I.P.
Sorry I can't be any more help!
