Right then, I'm off to Manchester to see Hawkwind

[Centralscrutinizer]

Anyone else seeing them on this short set of dates? Looks like a great set list and with Dave Brock being 81 need to see them while you can.

That'll be good. I'm tempted to nip up for some of it.

Bloody hell is that a festival? Take your winter coat!

 

[Teesste]

Enjoy!

I'm off to the Forum tonight to watch the UK Rock Show.. Seen them perform as a Bon Jovi tribute act before but tonight is a bit more generic 80's & 90's classic rock.

I'm going to - at least, there's no need to camp; they're running buses to/from it every day. They've already said it's the last year they're going to do it at the Mayday bank holiday weekend.

Saw them at Boro town hall in about 1972.

I think it's a strong bill all through the weekend was wanting to see Bill Bailey tomorrow night and my pick of the weekend that I've never seen was Willie and The Bandits on stage 2 also tomorrow night.

Not going as I am out with family tomorrow and mates birthday today. Even offered a ticket.
I would be checking out Diesel Park West, TRB, Ferocious Dog and others.

That’s true. Looking forward to seeing The Sweet tonight as well. Only Andy Connelly left. One it those bands when you see them live, you realise what great songs they made. Maybe not all great but great live in concert.

I'm surprised he's still alive let alone touring - fair play. i saw them back in the late 80's, they seems quite old then

Think she's called Sciatica now

I remember seeing Hawkwind as a shy 14 year old at the Reading pop festival back in 1972. I soon grew up when all the women stripped naked and danced around in a big circle. It was like the dance of the privet hedges!!

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

3 on here so far who saw them in '72. Must've been brilliant
Makes me feel young as well
I listened to the new Hawkwind album on the way down here. The Future Never Waits. Well worth a listen, could be the best thing they've done since the Calvert era

She married a Dyke and lives in Hamburg. The Dyke was in the band with Ashton and Gardener.
