Support bands I have seen #2



Spanish HM Band Baron Rojo supporting Hawkwind at the Southampton Gaumont October (or was it November?) 1982. I don't recall them going down that well but not as badly as the crowd treated Tandoori Cassette when they suppported the hawks at the Stroud Leisure Centre in December 1981!

Support bands can often upstage the main act, can't they? I remember Jane doing that. Jane who?

A shame that Marmalade Phonebooth never got to support Hawkwind. Remember Baron Rojo well, though never got to see them play.
