New Order – The Artist/s

New Order are an English rock band formed in 1980 by vocalist and guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris. New Order were formed in the demise of their previous post-punk band Joy Division, following the suicide of vocalist Ian Curtis. They were joined by Gillian Gilbert on keyboards later that year. Their integration of post-punk with electronic and dance music made them one of the most critically acclaimed and influential bands of the 1980s.

Blue Monday 1988 – The Song

‘Blue Monday 1988’  is a song performed by English rock band New Order. It originally appeared on the band’s second studio album, Power, Corruption & Lies (1983).[The track was written and produced by Gillian Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, and Bernard Sumner, the members of New Order at the time. Blue Monday is a synth-pop and alternative dance song that drew inspirations from many works of other artists. The original single was a commercial hit, making the top 10 in many countries. It was later remixed and reissued in 1988. It is the best-selling 12″ single of all time. In the United Kingdom, it has sold 1.16 million copies in all formats, including the 1988 and 1995 re-releases. 

The Tea Pot  – The Shape

This record has been modelled into the silhouette of a china tea pot. Inspired by Brew Monday.

The third Monday in January has become know as Blue Monday because it is widely recognised as the most depressing month of the year. This is because the festive season is over, bills may have arrived, payday is someway off, the weather is winter gloomy and New Year resolutions have often been shelved. This year’s Blue Monday falls during a lockdown in a worldwide pandemic, meaning that challenges faced by many people in winter will be felt even more acutely. People are being encouraged to turn Blue Monday into a Brew Monday, when friends and family make a cup of tea and have a chat on the phone or online to show they care about each other. The Samaritans are urging that people virtually check in with friends and relatives to check that they are all right.
