We were negotiating to play Glastonbury, but we insisted on playing one of
the main stages and doing a full show, featuring many famous faces from the
past. Unfortunately, Nik's agent undercut us and offered his version of
"Hawkwind" at a much reduced profile, on one of the smaller stages. We felt
that if we were to play at Glastonbury, we owed it to the fans to put on a
proper, explosive show with all guns blazing. Glastonbury powers went for
the cheaper smaller option.
So Fuck them!!!!!!!!
