09.11.2020 - A couple of bit of news to
bring you bang up to date
Hello
folks
Sorry
it's been a bit quiet of late but here's a couple of
bits of news that might cheer you up!
We are
excited to announce our participation in a series of
socially distanced, reduced capacity shows at The
London Palladium...Tickets on sale from Friday 13th
Nov 10am (please note revised date, see flyer below!
#LetTheMusicPlay
Also
the 4th December sees the release of the 50th
Anniversary live album.
For
more details click on the images or links below
Cherry Red are delighted to announce a brand-new
studio album by Hawkwind Light Orchestra. Carnivorous
(an anagram of Coronavirus), which follows their
critically acclaimed 2019 album All Aboard The Skylark
and effortlessly resumes the space rock voyage
embarked upon by the full band.
The album was recorded entirely in lockdown during the
coronavirus pandemic, having started life as a solo
project by Dave Brock during the winter of 2019, with
contributions added by the band in January and
February, before the lockdown began. Musically the
stalwart trio of Dave Brock (vocals, lead guitar,
keyboards and synths), Richard Chadwick (drums) and
Magnus Martin (guitar, vocal and keyboards) have
created a tight, futuristic but classic sounding
record that emphasises Dave’s exemplary song writing.
Carnivorous is an album that by design had to be
recorded without a full complement of Hawkwind members
in their usual style. However, it is a testament to
the contributing members’ proficiency to end up with
an album that bears all the hallmarks of classic
Hawkwind while recorded under such testing
circumstances.
Dyna-mite is a cruising and catchy opener, complete
with memorable guitar solos, electronic flourishes and
laced with Dave’s trademark commentary on human
behaviour. There is plenty of timeless rock for fans
to enjoy; from the pulsating rhythms of Void Of
Wasteland to the free-spirited groove of Repel
Attract. On side 2, Model Farm Blues fuses the band’s
psychedelic blueprint with classic blues and there is
even a tongue in cheek nod to the recent pandemic in
Lockdown (Keep Calm) and a more serious note on The
Virus, while the heartfelt Forgotten Memories, about
the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s, is one of the
album’s most powerful songs. At every stage of
Carnivorous you can hear the fifty years of experience
at Hawkwind’s fingertips, boundaries they’re still
pushing today.
Hawkwind’s 50th anniversary celebrations were due to
continue throughout 2020 with headline slots at
festivals throughout the summer, Dave Brock solo shows
at HRH Prog in London and Sheffield, and their annual
Hawkfest event taking place in Devon on 28th-30th
August. The band are monitoring the situation and will
proceed with live shows as soon as possible.

24.04.2020 Beautiful Days 2020, please read :-(
16.03.2020 HRH Prog Postponed :-(
Sad to let you know, that due to the spread of
Coronavirus (Carnivorous), and government
advice....HRH Prog, which Dave Brock was headlining in
Sheffield and London, has been postponed...New dates
to be announced soon,
30.01.2020 We're going back to Beautiful days!
Hello
Folks
We are
pleased to confirm that we will be returning to
Beautiful Days this year to headline the Big Top :-)
07.01.2020 Martin Griffin RIP
A
message from the family of Martin Griffin....A true
gentleman and friend who we will all sorely miss..
Martin Griffin, legendary Hawkwind drummer has passed
away peacefully on 06/01/2020 following a short
illness surrounded by his loved ones.
Martin
joined the band for 2 stints between the years of 1978
and 1982 and played on albums such as Sonic attack and
Church of Hawkwind, as well as headlining with the
band at Glastonbury festivals Pyramid stage in 1981.
As is apparent from Social Media and the outpouring of
emotion, Martin has touched many peoples lives and was
loved and respected by all.
Martin had worked in and around the music industry
most of his life, playing drums alongside artists such
as Ark, Half Human band, Richard Strange and of course
Hawkwind.
He
recorded many rising talents such as Elvis Costello
and ABC at his recording studio in Cornwall and
pioneered a successful music sponsorship company
working with major artists around the globe.
He was quite simply the most wonderful human being and
will be deeply missed by so many. His family
respectfully asks for privacy during this difficult
time.
So Sunday 19th July 2020 #RMFair2020 sees the return
of the Grooverider Stage and without further ado here
are the bands confirmed so far...
They need no introduction and return to The Fair as
Grooverider Stage headliners, (and it will be their
50th anniversary too!) they are space rock legends and
spacelord warriors on the edge of time Hawkwind!
Joining the Hawks we have those psychedelic Icelanders
The Vintage Caravan and we also bring you the new
masked psychedelic desert rock of 'THE NEW DEATH CULT!
From Canada we have blues psych rockers Crown Lands!
And our last announcement for the Grooverider today -
They owned the Rising Stage last year as the people's
choice and they will be playing the Grooverider in
2020. They are currently out supporting previous
Ramblin' headliners The Cult, they are the UK's very
own rockers and rollers Piston!
Cherry
Red are delighted to announce the brand-new studio
album by the legendary Hawkwind.
All Aboard The Skylark
All Aboard The Skylark is the band’s 32nd studio album
and a storming return to their space rock roots. It is
released on 25th October 2019 on vinyl, digital and CD
(along with a second bonus disc) Acoustic Daze.
2019 marks the beginning of the band’s 50th
Anniversary year and All Aboard The Skylark picks up
effortlessly from their conceptual Top 40 charting
albums The Machine Stops (2016) and Into The Woods
(2017).
Musically the solid quartet of Dave Brock (guitar,
vocals, keyboards), Richard Chadwick (drums), Niall
Hone (bass, keyboards) and Magnus Martin (guitar,
vocals) have created a tight, psychedelic groove that
runs through the spine of the album, but embraces each
musician’s individual talents along the way.
Opener Flesh Fondue is a classic Hawkwind space rock
number; alien creatures feeding on the inhabitants of
planets, carried by Brock’s characteristic guitar and
vocals and underpinned by Chadwick’s superb rhythm and
hypnotic drum fills. Nets Of Space is a bass driven
trip, complimented by swirling guitar loops and
rhythmic drumming while the conceptual Last Man On
Earth and We are not Dead…Only Sleeping lead us
headlong into the free-spirited psychedelic groove of
All Aboard The Skylark. The contemplative 65 Million
Years Ago, with haunting Brock vocals is followed by
the melodic lament, In the Beginning, which leads to
the expansive and multi-layered The Road To…, and
closes with The Fantasy of Faldum, (based on a Hermann
Hesse fairytale). This is an exciting and unmissable
addition to the Hawkwind canon.
Acoustic Daze
Following a live tour, when Hawkwind opened their own
shows with an acoustic set, the band went into the
studio and recorded Acoustic Daze, acoustic versions
of some classic Hawkwind tracks.
Including Psy Power, Down Through The Night and We
Took The Wrong Step Years Ago, this shows another
fascinating side to the band. Stripping back the songs
to their roots doesn’t dilute any of the raw power,
highlighting the depth and musical perception that
Hawkwind have forged over the past fifty years.
Acoustic Daze will be released as part of the CD set
of All Aboard The Skylark and as a stand alone vinyl
edition – limited to 1000 copies worldwide!
The 50th Anniversary celebrations this year have
already seen the band headline the acoustic stage at
Glastonbury and play a headline slot at the metal
festival Graspop in Belgium, alongside a host of other
UK and European festivals, including a free Easter
festival for their Hawkwind Passport Holder fan club..
They’ve been nominated for awards and are planning a
special 50th Anniversary Hawkfest for the end of the
year. There will be a nationwide tour in November
culminating in a show at the prestigious Royal Albert
Hall on November 26th.

We are very sad to
let you know that our old friend and band mate DikMik,
(Michael Davies), passed away early this morning. He
will be loved and remembered for his innovative
contributions not only to Hawkwind, but to a whole
musical genre of which he was an important pioneer...
Dave Brock...."I
remember when DikMik joined the band, he bought
himself an audio generator from Tottenham Court Road,
got himself a Watkins Copycat echo unit, a fold up
card table, (complete with green
baize), and became one of the innovators of
electronic music!
It
was on DikMik's suggestion, and later persistence,
that we got Lemmy to join the band and you know the
rest!
Goodbye old chap

HawkEaster Happening
2018!
Friday 30th March to
Sun 1st April 2018.-The Alhambra Theatre, Morecambe.
This
wonderful old seaside theatre has been given two years
to prove itself as an arts/music venue…..If not, it
will be turned into flats.
It is an
important part of UK theatre history, most famous
for being the setting for John Osborne’s “The
Entertainer” starring Laurence Olivier which was
filmed there in 1960.
We want to help
save this iconic building which is situated on an
amazing beach in an often overlooked part of the
country.
More details of
the HawkEaster Happening 2018 coming soon.......

- Hawkwind trademark hearing
We are really happy
to let everyone know, that a decision has finally been
reached in the USA by the TTAB regarding HAWKWIND and
Nicholas Turner.
The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board found in
Hawkwind's favour and has just issued an order which
sustained our opposition.
Nik
Turner CANNOT use the name Hawkwind!
Its been over three hard years, which has drained our
energies and resources......We are so glad its over
and the correct verdict has finally been reached.
The members of
Hawkwind would like to thank you all for your
support in what has been a very stressful few years!
Hopefully we can now put all this behind us and get
on with other more creative and positive stuff!
We will comment
further when the news has finally sunk in.....But
for now, we are off to celebrate! Please raise a
glass, (or whatever), to the good ship Hawkwind!
Long may she sail!! :-D x
06 .06.17 - Rose RIP
It is
with great sadness that I have to let you know that
our dear friend Rose passed away today.
Many of
you will remember her and Margaret on the gates and
doors of every Hawkfest and HawkEaster.
She was a kind and beautiful woman, for whom,
nothing was too much trouble.
She loved Hawkwind and all the extended family,
knowing many of the regulars by name.. She was
fiercely loyal and stuck with the band through good
times and bad, offering support where it was most
needed. I
couldn't begin to list all the work Margaret and
Rose put in behind the scenes to make things run
smoothly.
She asked us to let you all know when the time
came and she was talking about the Hawkwind family
right until the end.
We managed to send her a running commentary of
life on the bus on the recent dates. She was
always eager to hear where we were and what we
were all doing.
Many of you brought flowers and gifts for her at
HawkEaster, she knew it would be her last one and
was greatly touched by the gesture. She asked us
to thank each and every one of you....She had a
fabulous time and certainly felt the love.
I can't write much more at the moment, but we
would all love to hear any stories or tributes you
wish to leave, or any photos you wish to post. (We
would especially like the one of Rose wearing the
Hawkwind crown at HawkEaster......someone took a
photo, but we cannot remember who). This would be
a great comfort to her husband Roger, who many of
you also met at recent HawkEasters, and to her
family.
To this end you can leave stories,
memories photos either on the following facebook

the thread started by Katie Bilko)

The Woods" will be released by Cherry Red Records on
the 5th May
In many ways, it is the perfect sequel to last
year’s acclaimed concept studio album and live stage
show, The Machine Stops, which was inspired by E.M.
Forster's Sci-fi classic, a dystopian vision of the
future brought to life with characteristic Hawkwind
style
Warm-up dates for Hawkwind in mid-March are dubbed
‘A Glimpse Into Greenness’, which gives some
indication of the conceptual and lyrical themes
behind the band’s new album. To promote Into The
Woods, Dave Brock and Co. will be touring through
May, culminating in what is set to be a memorable
show at London’s prestigious venue The Roundhouse on
26th May. It will be 45 years since Hawkwind played
at the venue’s historic ‘Greasy Truckers Party’ in
The Roundhouse and first recorded ‘Silver Machine’!

29.12.15 - RIP Ian Fraser Kilmister, aka Lemmy
1945-2015
Nothing
more to say at this point, like for so many of you
this news is just sinking in, more to follow later :-(
Update-
comment from Dave
So very sad to wake to the news that we have lost
Lemmy.
He was a character, a gentleman and a friend. I’ll
miss him and especially our eccentric text
conversations of recent years…
We had a magical bond when we played together. He had
a style all of his own and his legendary bass playing
will live on forever…..We’ll miss you man, you’ll not
be forgotten. DB

05.12.15 - Important announcement!! London venue
change from SBE to the Coronet
As
some of you may
have heard, it
seems Shepherd's
Bush Empire has
been declared
structurally
unsafe and we have
been told that
they have had to
cancel the rest of
their shows this
year.
Finding and
booking an
alternative London
venue for a show 5
days before
Christmas has been
a nightmare, but
we were determined
not to reschedule
til next year,
which we were
advised was the
only
solution.....We
care too
much about you
guys to do that
without leaving
a stone
unturned, so the
last 24 hours
have been spent
not only tearing
much hair out,
but phoning
around and
pulling in
favours from
everyone we know
and we are proud
to say that with
a little help
from our
friends, we have
done it!
We
apologise for
any
inconvenience
the change of
venue will
cause, but it
could have
been a lot
worse..
Big thanks to
the Coronet (a
fantastic
looking venue)
for
accommodating
us and our
hearts go out
to the bands
who haven't
been as lucky
as us....
Thoughts are
also with the
great folk at
SBE who have
to cope with
this situation
through no
fault of their
own....We are
just so
thankful that
their H&S
checks
uncovered the
danger and
prevented a
potential
disaster....

launch a Sonic Attack on the singles chart with a
little help from Brian Blessed!
It’s
the musical collaboration we never knew we needed,
until now! Legendary space rockers HAWKWIND have
teamed up with kingly thespian Brian Blessed for a
brand new single version of ‘Sonic Attack!’
When
Hawkwind decided to recreate their classic Space
Ritual show of 1972, for one night only, at the
London’s Shepherds Bush Empire in February 2014, the
venerable group donated all proceeds to animal
charities including Team Badger – of which Brian
Blessed is a patron. It was a gig that set the
wheels in motion for a storming new partnership.
The
accompanying video was created by long time Hawkwind
artist Martin McGuiness.
This
powerful addition to the Hawkwind canon is available
from 1st September 2014.
Sonic Attack is on the
way…01.09.14. Pre-order the single now to help
Brian and Hawkwind break the Top 40!

observant amongst you will have noticed a couple of
these already but seeing as we can now announce a date

earlier the same month Hawkwind will be appearing at
the Reverence Festival in Portugal.

feedback pleaseHello folks,
We would love feedback from all of you who attended
HawkEaster this year (and last)...
We have been asked if it would be possible next year
to move it to a different weekend....maybe later in
the summer when it is warmer....?
We will be having a vote on facebook later, so would
like to know the thoughts of the folk on here who are
not on facebook.
Do we keep it at Easter or turn it into a summer
fest......or maybe May bank holiday?
Well
folks HawkEaster is almost upon us, looking forward to
seeing you all at the weekend.
Things
get going tomorrow evening from about 6pm when the
venue will be open for registration and a get together
of attendees. Hot food and a full bar will be
available as well as music (not live) and visuals to
get you in the mood.
We open
the doors at 2 pm on Saturday and 12:00 midday on
Sunday with an 11:30pm (approx) finish on both nights.
Running
times should be posted at the venue both days but also
make sure you check out the official
Hawkwind facebook page

Ok all
roads lead to Devon, see you there :-)

25.02.14 - Space
Ritual DVD & CD leaflet to download
Hello
Folks, Now we are nearly all home and nearly all
recovered from what was an epic weekend, we just
wanted to say a big THANK YOU! to everyone who came
along, supported the causes and made the weekend so
special...
But
most of all we are indebted to the volunteers who gave
up their afternoon and packed party bags for several
hours before the show.....We salute you!
We have
noticed that there is a little confusion as some of
the bags contained DVD pre-order forms and some did
not...So for all the folk who didn't get a form and
some did not......So for all the folks who didn't get
a form in their bag (or indeed if you couldn't get to
the actual show) you can download it by clicking here
For
those of you unsure about how to print this off,
here's a couple of suggestions -
From
your web browser
Firefox
- Depending on which version you are using either go
File - Print and follow the onscreen instructions or
for more recent editions there is a tab on the left
hand side of the screen that says "Firefox", click
this and select the Print option
Internet
Explorer - Hover over picture, right click and select
"Print Picture" from the list of options.
Alternately
you can save the image directly to your computer by
once again right clicking on your mouse and selecting
"Save Image As" in firefox and "Save Picture As" in
explorer.
Hope
that helps!

A quick heads up to any of you
intending to come to HawkEaster and haven't got your
tickets yet.We only have a handful left and expect
to sell out over the weekend.
Full line up will be announced in the next few days.
Atomhenge,
the Cherry
Red Records label managed by Esoteric
Recordings, the home of the entire HAWKWIND
catalogue released between 1975 and 1997, are very
pleased to announce that the classic HAWKWIND
album “WARRIOR ON THE EDGE OF TIME”
will be released
in May 2013 as a newly remastered edition from the
original stereo master tapes. Atomhenge label
manager Mark Powell said; “Contrary to popular myth,
the master tapes of this classic album were never
lost. They remained in the United Artists vaults.
The Atomhenge reissue will be the first ever CD
edition to be taken from the original first
generation master tapes. All previous editions have
been taken from vinyl transfers or inferior copy
master tapes”.
Aside from a
single disc remastered edition, there will be two
other expanded editions of the album. Mark Powell
adds; “I’m extremely pleased to say that Steven
Wilson has mixed the album into a stunning 5.1
Surround Sound mix from the original multi-track
master tapes and has also undertaken a new stereo
mix of the album which has an amazing depth and
clarity whilst remaining faithful to the original
release. “Warrior” is one of THE classic albums of
the 1970s and is a land-mark album in Hawkwind’s
history. The forthcoming reissues will do justice
this magnificent record”.
Full details of
the editions of “Warrior” will be announced in the
coming weeks.
Cherry Red managing director,
Adam Velasco added; “The album “Warrior on the Edge
of Time” has been unavailable officially on CD for
many years and it is our intention to make the
forthcoming releases definitive editions in terms of
audio remastering (from the original master tapes),
content and packaging”.
Hawkwind will be touring in
April 2013 performing WARRIOR ON THE EDGE OF
TIME, with further dates planned later in the
year. Confirmed dates ca be found on the Tour dates page by clicking here

21.01.13 - Manchester
support and a couple more bands for HawkEaster
Just
letting you know that Tim Blake will be doing a solo
set as support for the gig at Manchester this coming
Friday. As ever full details of this and all upcoming
Hawkwind gigs can be found on the tour dates page but
please make special note of the stage times for this
show as there is an early curfew due to the venue also
holding a club night -
We had a meeting with the
campsite owners the other day. It's a beautiful site
with amazing views over Lyme Bay. The campsite is
approximately 15 minutes walk to the venue, (a
little more coming back as it's uphill
:-). The venue is 2 minutes walk from the sea
front :-).
The price per pitch for a large/family tent (and
car) is Ł10 or Ł5 for single/small tent (and car),
payable directly to the site owners.
There are a few electric hook-ups available on the
campsite, but unfortunately, only for tents as the
site is not suitable for motor homes etc, unless
the ground is exceptionally dry. There are
however, extra spaces for motor homes elsewhere on
the site, which do have electric hook ups. These
sites are limited....probably only around 15, more
if you book together and don't mind sharing a
pitch...
Good news! Dogs are welcome and the owner (Tim)
will put up a marquee with picnic tables as a
meeting area for HawkEaster folk.
Tipis
will be available to rent fully furnished (if
required) from
Eve's Tipis, click here

We would like to thank those of you who braved
the terrible weather on December 20th to join us
in the Celebration of the Life of Huw
Lloyd-Langton. It was a wonderful tribute to
Huw, that so many people attended to pay their
last respects and helped to make it a day that
Huw would have approved of..
Marion, Kirsty and family would like to thank
everyone who sent messages of tribute and
condolence.
Your support was truly appreciated.
Later in the year, we are planning to erect a
memorial, with a commemorative plaque, in a
place where fans and friends can visit to
remember Huw.
This will be in the summer and we will make it
a day of celebration. Hopefully it will give
those of you who could not attend on Thursday,
the opportunity to come, share your stories
and say farewell.
More details on this soon

In case
you missed the link elsewhere simply click here
As you can imagine there
has been an overwhelming response to the very
sad news of Huw’s passing. We have had thousands
of messages from all around the world.
There are so many folk who would have loved to
come and pay their respects to Huw in person on
Thursday, but practicalities would not allow.
Marion and Kirsty have expressed their wishes
that those people from around the world, who
cannot be present, light a candle at 12 noon and
say a few words in Huw’s memory.
If you would like to follow the service, we will
be publishing the Order of Service on Thursday
via the website, keep an eye out for the link to
appear.
For obvious reason we
won't be posting from the usual address so if there
are any problems we will also be putting the link
details onto facebook so if nothing has appeared here
by midday uk time on Thursday then please check there
for the relevant details, thank you.
Update - A couple
more points for you regarding tomorrow
No dress code, come
as you feel comfortable.
Huw's family have requested that people do not take
pictures on the day,
We are sure everyone will understand and respect their
wishes.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation.
First of all on behalf of Huw's wife Marion, daughter
Kirsty and the rest of the Hawkwind family, we'd like
to send out a heartfelt thanks to all of you who have
sent tributes and kind words of support at this sad
time, via the forum, facebook and e-mail.
Due to an overwhelming response and restrictions on
space we need everyone who would like to come and pay
their respects to Huw on the 20th December, and who
has not already confirmed, to contact us at Huw@hawkwind.com as

the reasons mentioned.
Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing your

Huw's
funeral will take place at 12 noon on Thursday 20th
December at St Mary's Church, Church Hill, Stalbridge,
Sturminster Newton, DT10 2LR
All are welcome, however if you intend to be there,
please email us by clicking here as soon
as possible so that we have an idea of the numbers and
can arrange a suitable venue for the reception.
It is
with immense sadness that we have to let you know our
great friend of many years and fellow musician Huw
Lloyd Langton passed away peacefully last night.
Huw had been bravely fighting cancer for a couple of
years, but was determined not to let the battle affect
his day to day life. He continued to play his guitar,
laugh, joke and share the great love he had in his
heart, with all who knew him.
As he wished, he was at home when the time came, with
his ever strong and loving wife Marion at his side.
Huw was one of the great guitarists with an individual
style and character. He is gone but never forgotten by
any of us. He will live on in our music and in our
hearts.
We will update you all with details of funeral and
remembrance plans as and when we have them.
Meanwhile we have opened a book of condolence on our
forum
click here to visit, for all of the many
people who will wish to share their thoughts at this
sad time.
If you
do not wish to join the forum but still want to
leave a message then please send an e-mail here and we will
make sure these are added to the book at an
appropriate time.

Breaking
News!
Hawkwind Theremin and Ax player, Tim Blake has broken
his wrist in a freak pruning accident at his French
home near Poitiers...
It seems that Monsieur Blake, was pruning the wall
vines in his small vineyard, when the ladder collapsed
under him, shattering his wrist.
Tim was rushed by ambulance to Poitiers University
Hospital where he was operated on by the head of
orthopaedics, le
Professor Gayet.
The plaster-cast will be taken off on August 13, and
doctors will operate immediately to remove the 3
pins.
Tim will then travel to Hawkwind HQ in the UK to
join the rest of the band for their performance at
Rockin the Park festival in Nottinghamshire, on
August 17.
Tim commented, "When the medical team saw a video of
me playing with Hawkwind, they said, 'Okay, we'll
get you playing for the 17th, but this will hurt !'"
We might well see Tim playing a little more Theremin
than Ax, at Clumber, however he pointed out, "that a
very expressive wrist is needed!"
03.07.12

We are really sad to have to pass on this sad news. We
will do an update when we return to England with
details of Johns life and how he has spent his years
since leaving Hawkwind.
We thought it appropriate to share the message that we
received from John's sister Franny in its entirety.
"Hi Dave & Kris,
Sadly, John passed away on Saturday evening 26th May.
He went peacefully, after a wonderful day.
I'll just back track a week... John wanted to
celebrate his forthcoming birthday by giving the staff
at Garden Crest a lunch party. So food was brought in
and everyone had a good time.
During that week he began to sleep a lot more than
usual, and although his breathing was a bit more
laboured, he was still speaking pretty good.
The great thing was.. He received all our family
birthday cards, and was so thrilled to receive cards
and letters from you lovely folk, and many Hawkwind
fans (some too young to have seen John play) all
saying such wonderful things,. His best friend Linda ,
was amazed by the content of the letters, as John had
never really talked about this part of his life. She
is going to send them over to me later on , So that me
n sis n cousins can enjoy reading them.
John was also very happy to receive a package from me,
containing photos I'd taken when i visited him last
month, of his carers, and also some beach life at
"Surf City USA" where I stayed. Also included were
copies of illustrations I had just finished for a book
a friend has written, (these had been giving me
nightmares as they'd taken me so long to do). He
thought they were brilliant ( well he would - he's my
bruv ! ha ha).
So on Saturday 26th when Linda visited, she re-read
his cards and letters with him, and also my package
which he had been saving for her to show him,and to
read all my attatchments. He really enjoyed himself,
deciding which things to add to his pinboard, or the
wall.
He also spent his usual time in the garden, under the
tree, shaded from the hot Californian sun, overlooking
the wonderful views, eating ice cream.
In the evening, William was attending to John around
7.45pm. John thanked him for looking after him.
William looked in on him again around 8pm and found he
had passed away.
Linda returned to see him, and said his face was so
peaceful, and showed no signs that he'd been
distressed . which is a great relief to us all, as it
was expected that his final time could be quite
traumatic.
She also said that during the week Robyn, his lovely
visitor from social services, had a nice talk with
him, and Linda too had a conversation with him about
what might happen. She said he was very "at peace" no
longer afraid, and felt it would be just like going to
sleep.
I think I mentioned that John had arranged that his
body would go to UCLA medical centre. They were
notified straight away, and a very nice white vehicle
collected him .Several carers and staff watched him
leave ,and said their goodbyes to "Mr John". He was
treated with great respect and dignity.
Once again many thanks Dave and Kris , Hawkwind, and
Fans, for your kindness in sending messages, cards and
letters to John. It played such a great part in giving
him happiness and contentment in his final days.
When you update your website with the news about John
, you may use any info from this e mail if you wish.
Meanwhile, Hope the tour has kicked off well, and you
are all having a fantastic time. with sell-out venues.
Love n Best wishes
Franny"

- Crystal Palace gig cancelled
Unfortunately
we have just found out that the Crystal Palace Garden
Party gig that was scheduled to take place on the 23rd
June has been cancelled due to "Structural damage to
the stage".
Whilst
we are sorry to have to announce this it is obviously
beyond Hawkwind's control.
According
to the official statement, fans should contact the
agency or outlet where they brought tickets from with
regards to a refund. If we get any further information
regarding this we will keep you informed and update
this news item as appropriate.
19.05.12 - Some news regarding original
Hawkwind bassist John Harrison
Hello
folks,
We have some sad news about our friend and original
Hawkwind bass player John Harrison. John was diagnosed
with Huntington's disease about 7 years ago, and is
now in the later stages of it. It's a horrible
situation for sufferers, as in John's case the brain
stays sharp, but a single gene mutation causes neurons
in the brain to die which affects movement etc. The
body starts shaking in the first stages and then
gradually closes down.
He is in a clinic and virtually bed ridden, but thanks
to the brilliant team of carers, and his own laid
back, cheery personality, he has adapted to his
condition, and is very popular.
His view is the Hollywood hills, the "Hollywood" sign,
the Griffith Park Observatory, and beyond those, the
mountains.
He has happy memories of his time in Hawkwind and has
agreed to allow us to share the news of his condition
with you all. He sends his best wishes.
He will be 70 on 28th May and if anyone would like to
send him a birthday card he is at:
Garden Crest
909 North Lucile Avenue
Los Angeles 90026California
Thanks
for reading

- Hawkwind - new studio album details revealed
Eastworld
Recordings has announce the signing of legendary space
rockers Hawkwind.
The original pioneers of space rock return with
their eagerly awaited new album, "Blood Of
The Earth", their first in five years.
Produced by the band at state-of-the-art recording
facility Earth Studios, "Blood Of
The Earth" takes the listener on a journey
through crushing visceral space rock, doom driven
poetry, whimsical mantras and imagination opera. An
example of humans and machines pulsing in harmony
out into the void....
Hawkwind is an English rock band, one of the
earliest space rock groups. Their lyrics favour
urban and science fiction themes. They are also a
noted precursor to punk rock and now are considered
a link between the hippie and punk cultures.
Formed in early1969 by singer-songwriter and
guitarist Dave Brock, Hawkwind has gone through many
incarnations and styles of music. Critic Jim
Green describes their trademark sound as
characterized by "that gargantuan and impenetrable
pre-metal/hardcore drone, those great riffs, that
inexorable drive to destinations unknown". Dozens of
musicians have worked with the group; notable
fantasy and sciencefiction
writer Michael Moorcock was an occasional
collaborator.
The
album will be available in 3 formats -

It is
with heavy heart that we have to let you know, our
good friend Carol Clerk passed away peacefully in
her sleep yesterday at 11.45am.
She had been battling breast cancer for over a year.
In November she suffered a stroke and was diagnosed
with an additional brain tumour. Over the weeks the
tumour grew and put pressure on her brain.
She was admitted to Wisdom Hospice on Thursday and
slept through.
Yesterday morning, with her husband Nigel by her
side, she just stopped breathing and slipped quietly
away.
Carol wanted to keep her illness quiet and she
suffered in silence for so long - but now the world
needs to know that she is no longer with us.
It was a privilege for us to call Carol our friend,
she was a beautiful, intelligent, funny, woman, a
great friend and a talented journalist.
Carol loved Hawkwind and always said that the
Hawkwind book was the best she had ever written.
We felt an affection for Carol which went far beyond
that of a purely professional relationship.
After writing the book, we stayed in touch, we met
socially and she attended the last Hawkfest with her
family and had a great time
She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved
her.
Our thoughts are with her husband Nigel and her
daughter Eve.
Rest in peace our friend.........

Unfortunately the doctors are not happy with his
kidneys and if it does not improve in the next month
he will have to go back on dialysis. He is also
anaemic and needs to put on weight........So come on
everyone, lets put our minds together and send him
some good energy...
The good news is that he says nothing will stop him
doing the 9th at the Brook and it will probably do
him good!
I will update you all with any news as I get it.
Thanks, Kris x

06.10.09 - Latest
Huw update
Hello folks!
We saw Huw
yesterday and he is in good spirits
Although he is not out of the woods yet, he is
certainly going in the right direction and the
positiveness that has come from all your messages
and prayers has certainly helped.....
The next few days are going to be crucial, so keep
up those positive thoughts and prayers....
Unfortunately Huw also broke his finger when he was
very ill and had it operated on today.........(It
should fully recover and he will be back playing his
guitar as soon as he is able...)
We had a little caption competition at the hospital,
but would welcome any suggestions you have, please
post these to either the forum or myspace for the
attached photo
All entries will be passed on to Huw and Marion to
judge...
We will keep you updated of any news...
Love Kris
04.10.09 - More
news regarding Huw Lloyd Langton
Hi all
One of our forum
members happens to work at the same hospital where
Huw is being treated and has just posted the
following message which you'll no doubt want to read
-
Just a quick
message from Marion and Huw to post :
Ah! Thank you. Actually you could post a message
from me please.
Yesterday Huw was in a remarkable frame of mind and
is being very positive and philosophical about it
all. Quote "look so what if it is dialysis for rest
of my life or a kidney transplant c'est la vie - I
can think of a lot worse things cancer being one of
them". So he is back fighting the cause. Which of
course gives me a huge amount of
energy to carry on.
I believe the wonderful prayers, good vibes and
support sent out by the Hawkwind family have given
him real courage to fight this. So thank you one and
all and keep sending them up!
03.10.09 - Huw
Lloyd Langton very ill
Hello Folks,
Sadly we need to tell you all that Huw is very ill
at the moment due to his kidneys failing. This is as
a result of a recent bout of food poisoning, the
doctors are working to find out more and in the
meantime he has been put on dialysis at The Dorset
County Hospital.
Please send all your thoughts, prayers and good
vibes to Huw and Marion to get them through this.
If you would like to send a card, please send it to

We will update you of any news as soon as we hear
it.
07.09.09 - A
couple of things for you
First off some of you may have noticed this on the
home page but it's worth repeating here -
Hawkwind are subject of a 1 hour special entitled
"The
Mighty Wind – Hawkwind at 40" that will be aired
for the first time on Planet Rock radio this
coming Saturday at 7pm UK time, the show will
feature interviews with both the band and fans
recorded at the recent Porchester Hall gigs and
promises to appeal to both the hard core fan as
well as those less familiar with the band, so i
doubt that part applies to anyone reading this.
The show will also be repeated on the 17th
September (time unknown) and as well as this it
will also feature on the stations media player
meaning you will be able to access it for 7 days
after the initial broadcast via the internet.
Planet rock is available on DAB digital radio and
the world wide web, to visit the stations web site
click here.
Secondly,
tomorrow, the 8th September marks the first
anniversary of the sad passing of Hawkwind
keyboard player Jason Stuart, may we suggest that
Hawkfans the world over take a brief moment during
the day to remember him and raise a glass in his
honour whenever and wherever you happen to be.
Thanks for reading

Amorphous Androgynous album launch party update
please read
The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that
the date of the Matter @ O2 gig has been put back
to the 30th October.
We have literally been informed of this within the
last hour so wanted to let fans know as soon as
possible.
Our understanding is that the 30th October is now
the preferred date for the show but is not 100%
cast in stone as this announcement is being
written, as soon as we have a definite date this
entry will be updated to reflect this,
Apologies for this but please be aware that this
is outside the control of Hawkwind as the band are
appearing on someone else's bill and as such have
no influence over their decision to move the date
back.

the interview with Mark Radcliffe tonight on Radio 2

for companies to bid on, however that does not stop
any wealthy Hawkwind fan from getting involved :-)

Porchester Hall news and a couple of other
snippets
Hello Folks,
Those of you
who came to Hawkfest last year will remember
Malinkeys restaurant and Chameleon bars, well the
good news is that they will both be at the
Porchester Hall shows providing food and drink
all day long...........
As its a
party, we thought it would be a nice idea if as many
folk as possible brought a present wrapped up,
nothing expensive, just something you think others
would like, then, when the music stops, everyone
will exchange presents with the person next to
them.....
More news
soon...
The Birthday
Team :-)
Also be aware
that Dave Brock will once again be appearing on
BBC Radio2, this time as a guest on the Radcliffe
and Maconie show this Wednesday night, the 29th
