I just wanted to make a massive shoutout to Peter and the band for bringing Get Ready all the way down to New Zealand.
I highly recommend trying to make a show! I even tried to fly up to Auckland to make the next show but flights were $$$$ :-(.
I am a huge Get Ready fan and pretty much all the new order I really listen too. I have listened to the album on daily repeat since 2001, crystal to run wild with no skips. So maybe not a die hard new order fan but a die hard get ready fan?
Some thoughts, while I was belting out every lyric to every get ready song.. I did somewhat feel the crowd was more there for the second half… but that didn’t take away from my enjoyable of the show! Their loss!
And part of the reason for this post is to encourage people to go back and give it another listen…. If you’re a fan of their older stuff.. give get ready a full play and new listen.
I didn’t realise that most of the guitar hooks are actually bass lines?? And man this gave me so much more appreciation for the album /music and apologies for being so naive, haha.
Lastly, blue Monday and love will tear us apart have not aged a day and still a banger in 2026!
Thanks kindly, the world’s biggest get ready fan…
