A taster of the current Hawkwind tour
Got my ticket to see the Hawks in London on 17 December. This is them playing an oldie You Shouldn't Do That from their second album In Search of Space. It was videoed at their opening tour date in Holmfirth on 3 December
Definitely looking forward to seeing them for the 17th time
Current Hawkwind tour? You mean they're still alive? Wow.
ReplyDeleteOh yes still going albeit only with Dave Brock as the sole original member.
ReplyDeleteI saw then twice in the 80's, but 17 times? Good Lord! I take it that's Calvert in your avater jams?
ReplyDeleteMy boss saw U2 at least ten times. Sad Sad Sad
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is the late, great Robert Newton, Chris!
ReplyDeleteThat IS sad Colin!
My brother was a big fan of Hawkwind. But they haven't worn well have they? ;-)
ReplyDeleteDave Brock the only original mmber is pushing 70! The keyboad player Tim Blake is in his early 60s while the drumer is well into his 50s
ReplyDeleteStill not bad to keep going continuously for 40 years
