It was the best track he did and a very fine (IMO) piece of acoustic
guitar playing - it can't have been easy trying to reproduce the sound
but he gave a very creditable performance.    My one main complaint with
HLL is that he tends to hurry the timing of his vocals - as if to get
the words over and done with so that he can get down to the guitar
playing bit.    But I thought it a brave and accomplished performance
given that there was a hall full of folk waiting to hear Hawkwind and
here's Huw doing an acoustic set!   He really caught people's interest
too since there was a steady drift of folk up towards the stage to
listen tho' I agree it was a good competent performance rather than an
outstanding one.
