HW: Alan Davey Website

[Ian Abrahams]

Quite right Iain, and sorry Gary, I shouldn't have been abrupt and rude about your point. 

A really great job has been done on Alan's site, and Eclectic Devils is a FANTASTIC album (just get it for 'Encounter' alone! and then get it for the rest as well!). But look, I've said this once, on the Hawkwind forum, and I'll mention it here again. I'm NOT in anybody's camp. 

A few Hawks (past-members) have from time to time asked me for a bit of help simply because I've now got one or two contacts and can write a reasonable press sheet and I've always been happy to do what modest little bits of help I can for people (always unpaid). It's never to do with what side of any divide they are on, it's only to do with they come and kindly ask and always seem to appreciate the little bits I can do (and they are very little bits, let's be honest). If anybody who is a current member asked for some help, I'd do exactly the same, for exactly the same reward and I'd do it quite happily. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen but that's just one of those things. But I'm not doing something for one person because they are on one side of things and not doing stuff for others because they are on the other side. I don't work like that, I try to be balanced and objective always...

Ian

Hi folks, 

Please can we try not not get all hot under the collar over this, it's been rather pleasant here for a while, with no bitching between the two teams, none of the musicians are making any comments and it's just fans doing it all.

To be fair to Ian, he was just pointing out Alan's new website,? and to be honest, Alan was the nearest thing to a front man the band had when Rizz , Bridget , and Ron wern't in the band..

regards
iain

Alan was the Bass player/Synth, vocalist and front man(?) for Hawkwind for 22 
years. That seems a bit of a stretch, Ian. I know he didn't get paid and all 
that but...

Hello All,

Just to let you know, there's a new website just launched for Alan Davey: 
www.alandaveymusic.com and a special offer on the 1st 50 orders through the new 
site, so worth getting along and registering there (find the register link at 
the bottom of the home page). You can order the new AD solo album, Eclectic 
Devils, there. 

Eclectic Devils has been getting some very strong reviews, including a 
three-star review in Record Collector and a fantastic four-star review from Oz 
Hardwick in the latest R2 (Rock N Reel) (where I can also be found singing the 
praises of Hall & Oates' 'Along the Red Ledge' LP, but I'm off-topic now!!).

Ian
