According to the NME.com article "Mancunian music legends team up to become TV presenters":

PETER HOOK, MANI and ANDY ROURKE are set to become television presenters as part of their new business venture.

The three legendary Manchester bass-players have set up a new company with local businessman Nova Rehman and have bought Bar Cuba nightclub in Macclesfield.

The company, named Collective, are now working on a pilot for a music television programme which will be recorded at the venue and presented by the threesome. The as-yet-untitled show should feature three live bands in each edition...

In other news, Rourke - formerly bass player with The Smiths - has joined Manchester band Jeep. The line up also includes Wags from Black Grape and Darren Partington from 808 State. They play Manchester Music Box on December 20...

    I must say, although I like Andy, he wussed out. The chips were down and he left Mike on his own and took the money. I think Mike deserves a lot of credit for standing up and fighting for what was rightfully his. Andy, ought to hang his head cause he let Mike to fight alone. A moz and Marr, hang high, hang em high

    Yeah, nice to see Morrissey was able to buy you a nightclub. Why don't you try and get some more cash from him, so you can afford the utility bills?

    Andy and Mani are really cool. Andy is totally at peace with Morrissey.
    Had a pint with Andy, ,Mani and Joe Moss.....Morrissey may have shat on a few people, but he still commands respect for being a total original.

      All the 4 Smiths members are on speaking terms
      with eachother...or better...met eachother...
      by accident...or by law.
      The hatery is made by the press...

      Only thing to say is...that the 4 are to
      pigheaded to say sorry...and still think they
      can have a better and more succesfull career
      on their own...

      My point off vieuw is...if there wasn't been a
      courtcase...it might could have happened...

      Smiths is dead...
      The legend will continue...

        Hiya Kids!!
        gotta say, further to my other comments, there's stuff that goes on within bands that people who aren't involved in it wouldn't begin to understand.
        Andy, Mike, Johnny and Morrissey all did those tours, all did that slugging around, all did alot of hard work.
        Now, I know you all love Morrissey, and he's a true fuckin icon, no question, but don't go slating the rest of the band, they kept their mouths shut about all the shit that went on, don't forget that.
        Morrissey can be a nasty twat when he wants to be, just like everyone else in the music business.....
