LOST in France?

[Albert Bouchard]

The festival was great and very different. It was like a medieval fair and a craft fair and rock show all together. The bands were all great as were the sound and lights, excellent for all the acts. I only saw the show the first night as I missed my ride back to the festival yesterday and missed Taste and Status Quo. It was fun hanging around with the Hawkwind guys although Dave didn't remember when he toured with BOC. 

Wishbone Ash was great although I prefer Hawkwind's songs better. They played Spirit of the Age, Silver Machine and Hassan I Sabba but no Needle Gun. They had the cute young girls in strange outfits dancing and moving around onstage plus a light show which was very entertaining but it made me wish I had a splif to enjoy it all better.;-)

Yesterday they said they will try harder to get us on the bill at Hawkfest but it just could have been the post gig lovefest talking.
