Fw: Hawkwind Manchester Gig - from Margaret Tait

[Michael Crook]

After it's been re-scheduled, I reckon HW should find
an alternative NW venue - the Academy 2 is not a great
place to have a HW gig - too small and the stage looks
cramped and, like FOFP said - its always bloody
freezing in the bar!

Mick 
(Who turned up last last night to find the place in
darkness with the doors locked and a few posters
stating the gig was cancelled due to 'unforseen
circumstances')
