Hawkwind slow down? Last year I was looking forward to an Autumn tour,
like they had in the olden days (about 10/12 years ago) where I could get
to see the band 3 or 4 times with little effort, and see friends scattered
around the country, and they didn't do one. Last year how many UK gigs did
HW do? Was it just the 4 or 5 dates in the tour and the Langtree Festival.
I would hate (speaking purely as a UK resident) for them to slow down any
more than this, it takes me back to one year where they only did 2 UK gigs
(ISTR, Acid Daze 1 and 2). It is no wonder Alan left, he needs to gig more
than this to make enough money to live on, he hasn't got all those
royalties to live off.
