Paging Kris/Hawkwind: possible interview for The Scotsman

I was out for a pint with the Science Fiction reviewer for The Scotsman.
I mentioned that Hawkwind will be in Scotland for a couple of gigs in
November. He'd be interested in arranging an interview, possibly by
telephone/email, for possible publication just prior to the gigs. It'll
be neither a fan piece or the usual "are those boring old hippies still
at it?" that Hawkwind are regularly treated to. He's interested in the
SF background, the Moorcock connection and musically that Hawkwind have
continued through 3 decades with contributions to the various styles of
music over that time.

He's just done some SF stuff for the paper at the Edinburgh Book
Festival (Have I got SF For You with Banks, Lessing and others) and
they're keen to get more from him.

I'd hazard that an article in a Scottish newspaper prior to the gigs is
good publicity by any definition. If you guys are interested in getting
this organised, then please get in touch with me at M.Holmes at ed.ac.uk
and we'll get something arranged.

Cheers
