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 your legend lives on......x

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....... |

to let everyone know, that a decision has finally been

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

All at Hawkwind HQ are saddened to learn of the passing of Bryn after a short illness. Together with his business partner Dylan, he ran the popular Southampton venue from 1996 and in that time welcomed Hawkwind on numerous occasions, they were always fun and well organised shows, with Bryn being an integral part of that. A big loss to the live music scene, you'll be missed xx

We are deeply
saddened to let you know that our good friend Marcin
Babko from the band hipiersoniK was killed in a
tragic accident on Sunday night.
hipiersoniK first joined Hawkwind on stage at InoRock 2012, where Marcin gave a memorable performance of both Sonic Attack and Hassan I Sahba in Polish! Many of you will have watched hipiersoniK at HawkEaster in 2013 and opening for us on the Warrior Tour that followed. Our
thoughts are with his band mates Sosna and Pierre,
his wife Marta and all his family and friends who
loved him....
Fly free Marcin, another great talent lost too young X

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!
VENUE
CHANGE TO THE
CORONET AT
ELEPHANT AND
CASTLE. http://coronettheatre.co.uk/
We
apologise for
any
inconvenience
the change of
venue will
cause, but it
could have
been a lot
worse.. All
tickets for
the SBE show
will be
honored more

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!

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! |

Hello Folks! We are happy to let you know that “Space Ritual Preview Day” is going ahead as planned at The Gateway in Seaton, Devon. (Same venue as HawkEaster ), on Fri 21st Feb 2014 Doors will open at 2pm for sound check, production rehearsals and run throughs of various parts of the set with lightshow and dancers. We plan to have a complete dress rehearsal early evening (approx 6pm – 8pm or 7pm – 9pm depending on how the day has worked out). As this is a rehearsal day and the unexpected can happen, all times are approximate and the programme is liable to change without notice. There will be a full bar and food available throughout the day. Filming is expected to take place throughout the afternoon and evening. Your attendance at the event will be taken and accepted as your consent and agreement for your image to be used in any media produced from the event. In order to help cover the costs of the day, we need a donation of Ł10 per person (including credit/debit card charges etc), payable in advance through the HawkEaster shop page. Click here and just make sure you select "Space Ritual Day" When you have paid you will receive a unique receipt, please print this and bring it with you to ensure entry on the day. Please note, if you book together, you will need to arrive together. (Except by prior arrangement) Things are shaping up nicely for HawkEaster, click here for the all new 2014 information page which features this years artwork, whilst currently under construction more details will be added over the coming weeks. With Easter weekend falling almost a month later than last year, (19/20th April), we are hoping the weather will be a lot warmer…..We have again booked the private camping field at Manor Farm and Eves Tipis are also taking orders. The same as last year, there will be a bus running between the campsite and the venue after the show. The tourist attractions, shops, pubs and cafes of Seaton are again giving us a warm welcome and will be offering discounts to everyone attending the weekend. We will be opening the doors on the evening of Friday 18th April for registration, wristbands and a social get together with music and DVDs on the big screen and a full bar…..This worked very well last year and it was a great evening… We will again open the venue on Easter Monday morning/lunchtime to meet for a goodbye picnic lunch. For everyone attending the Rock4Rescue charity event at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Sat 22nd February, please remember the doors open at 6.30pm and things will start to happen around 7.00pm. The evening will not be scheduled in a regular concert format, so if you don’t want to miss anything, try to get there early. Hawkwind will be on stage at around 8.00pm, but there will be lots going on before…… There are still a few tickets available for the evening, click here for more details and to purchase. We wish you all a belated Happy New Year and hope to see you at a Hawkwind happening soon! The Hawkwind Events Team

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.

We are aware that there appears to be a glitch with the preview option on the shop page and we will endeavour to get this fixed at the earliest opportunity. The Dead Sea Mob are gonna design a special cover for this single at the Sea Shepherd fundraiser on HMS Belfast on Tuesday night. The cover will then be available free from this site so make sure you come back and download it. Also check out facebook over the next few days, especially if you encounter any problems. If it's something that is affecting several people we will post a quick message on there, to visit Hawkwind's facebook page, click here.

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 |

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 :-)
