There is a group of ex-Hawkwind members calling themselves "Hawklords" that are about to redo the entire "Space Ritual" live album,live on tour.
A certain bass player from Gunslinger is on bass duties of course
You know what Nigel-I have never listened to Hawkwind.In all my years that ive been into rock/metal/ or any sort of music ive never bothered with them.Maybe growing up with Motorhead/Metallica/Anthrax etc I categorised them into some soft hippy shit(even though they probably aren't!!!!}. Strange eh!! perhaps I will have to get one of their albums

Mark... Yeah I can understand that. But there was so much about Hawkwind that was more rock than hippy.
Album's like "Hall of the mountain grill" are well worth listening to as an introduction. "Space ritual" is regarded as a classic album,huge heavy rock sound with many of the songs developing into jamming sessions.
Later on in their career they did catch on with the rock audience with albums like Live '79 and Chronicles of the black sword.
Youtube is good place to have a listen to a track or two and see what you like the sound of.
Hi Nigel yeah about time I checked them out!!!! They are playing in Bedford(about 15 minutes away from me) at the end of the month.If the weather improves and I get back to work next week I might have a look.If not I will check out Hall of the mountain grill. cheers mate

Mark I've been listening to Space Ritual a fair bit lately and its not bad As Nigel says about the Hawklords I'm probably gonna go to Ipswich in April. Space Ritual live is worth a listen mate. Though the tour is not Hawklords but the Psychedelic Warlords.
