My office mate remembers a festival with Hawkwind which he thinks was in
May or August 1986 at Leeds Queens Hall with the following line up of
bands:   Hawkwind, Dr and the Medics, Pink Fairies (with 2 drummers),
Bob Calvert and the Starfighters, The Enid, Spaceman 3.    However I've
been looking through the listings and can't find anything that quite
matches this.    I suspect that either the date of 1986 is wrong or Bob
Calvert wasn't playing with the Starfighters since that band was only
formed in 1987.    Therefore Acid Daze 2 at Leeds in Nov 1987 comes
closest but I've no idea if the Enid played then.     Acid Daze 1 was in
August 1987 but was in Finsbury Park and the Enid don't seem to have
played there.     If 1986 is correct then Bob Calvert must have been
touring with one of his other bands but I don't know if anyone played at
the Leeds Queen Hall that year - Hawkwind are listed for Leeds Uniersity
in November but that's all.

I think the Enid may be the key to this.    Anyone know when/if Hawkwind
and the Enid appeared on the same programme together?    Always assuming
that this isn't another sad case of memory fade!!
