HW:Hawkwind in Australia.

[Marty Lawrence]

Hi
Hawkwind were mean't to come to Australia in '78 part of a world tour, but
it fell thru.
When they toured in 2000, they played on the east coast only at :-
Byron Bay,Sydney Metro & ABC Studio 22 and they also played at a festival in
NSW.
I have just checked the ABC website and alas the Studio 22 CD , doesn't
contain any HW tracks.
There was a high quality VHS tape available of the transmitted STudio 22
session at one time from the ABC, but don't know if it's available now ?
Ozhawks was formed by Paul Ward(sonique), there was a web page, but Paul
didn't post anything after the band toured.
There was an appreciation night in Melbourne with around 30 people
attending,which was fun , chatting to other fans over a beer , paul played
lots of Hawkwind and spinoff material.
The guy who organised the AUS/NZ tour knew the band,and there was talk of
them coming back early 2001, to include Melbourne & Adelaide, I believe
that he is now back in the UK ?

To the BAND PLEASE come back and play here again, it was great to see you.
