To respond to someone's comments on The Old Grey Whistle Test - it's a
wierd thing but I'm sure I saw Hawkwind (maybe not live - maybe it was
just a film of the band playing live) on this show.    I used to watch
the programme with awe and reverence and remember being delighted one
night when I was promised Hawkwind.   However I'm sure I can also
remember sitting through the entire show and only being given a short
snippet of something at the very end.   It must have been Silver Machine
but it must also have been after its original release - so I can only
assume that it was recognising one of the re-release dates.

Admittedly I could well be inventing the whole thing - however I'm sure
it's for real  - I think!
