Just nominated 'em.  Fortunately, the "reason" field has quite a large size
setting.  Penned  in there:

37 years of doing their own thing, spurning changes for mere commercial
success whilst leading the way technologically and yet looking after their
fans (private Hawkfests, special gigs like Magna), and always making time
for those fans.  The music is innovative - check the bands/artists who claim
HW as an influence - and their gigs are an EVENT with music, band, lights,
dancers, projected films, lasers, mime artists, fire-eaters and all manner
of special guests, from Lemmy to Dumpy and Matthew Wright to Sam Fox.  Not
many could claim to form an Hawkestra from past members!  Oh - and I like
'em a bit.
