S MacManus was Dave's wife Shiela who died approx early 1983. Not sure
why the tunes were credited to her though.

This is my first posting so hello to all to HW (and BOC) fans. Good to
read all your US enthusiam for Hawkwind; I'm a UK fan who has been lucky
enough to see them nearly 50 times over the past 17 years. Then I got
into the Dead and I was lucky enough to see them (in England, France and
Germany). But I always really wanted my tape trading Dead Head buddies
to get the chance to see Hawkwind, and love them too. Finally, just when
HW hit their highest peak - with Richard Chadwick - they began to make
more foreign trips. I got to see them in Holland too!

I expect you have seen the October 97 UK tour dates, I don't know how
long ago they were posted (at the official HW WWW site); I'm quite new
to all this cyber stuff. Norwich and Cambridge (8th & 9th Oct) are my
local gigs; a few gaps in there so let's hope there's more to come.

I know it's a long time ahead but I'll let you know how the gigs go.

Alasdair.
