Hmmmmmm...... isn't musical evolution  a wonderful thing? Today's posts
reveal that the '70's were incredible years for Hawkwind, but the evolution
and morphing processes continued throughout the '80's & '90's and while we
all have our favourites and turkeys, it has to be said - Hawkwind are a
pretty good group, really (Andy humour). But the guy who 'stuck his neck out
to defend 'Distant Horizon' is the one where I weigh in and say that I
thought it was extremely flat and largely bereft of ideas, in fact my least
fave album. On the subject of 'Xenon Codex' though I would love to have a CD
release of the BBC Radio One In Concert hour long broadcast of that tour as
it was even better!!
Anyway, I could go on, but that's not why I'm here tonight. I got a call
this afternoon from the guy organising the following, so here's the info
you'll need:
On Saturday 15th July at Birkenhead "Stairways", Liverpool, England, there
will be a concert from Nik Turner, Terry Ollis, Dikmik, Thomas Crimble and
Huw Lloyd-Langton, under the name of (wait for it) 'The Original Hawkwind
Reunion Band'. Tickets are £10 and £12, available from the venue ( but be
warned that getting tickets from the venue by advance phone is apparently
not an easy task, but more than that I do not have just yet.)
I was told that Dave Brock has been invited to take part, but that is all I
was told and I can't vouch for the validity of that statement.
That's it.
No doubt, more to follow........ CD Services will NOT be selling tickets for
this event.
