Official Post From Hawkwind

[Colin Allen]

Hi all,

Unfortunately, and for a range of reasons, Hawkwind have had to take a
decision to make an official statement on audience recording of concerts.

As of now, ALL AUDIENCE RECORDING AND TRADING of Hawkwind concerts is
officially forbidden.  The band do not want to be heavy on this but there
are reasons why they cannot allow these activities to continue and they
hope that you will respect their wishes.

Like many of you, I am sad that this decision had to be made but I
understand the reasons behind it and fully suppport it.  I can only say
that further recording and trading could prove to be highly detrimental to
the band and to our future enjoyment of their music.  Therefore, please
respect their wishes.

This statement also includes electronic distribution, such as via the ftp
server.

Thanks,

Colin (on behalf of Kris & Dave)
