HW: At last - some NEWS!

[Andreas Stuewe]

I received Brian Tawn´s new Hawkwind feedback today. Here are in short the news:

- No tour dates yet, but the outline is for a few gigs in May, some festivals in
  the spring & summer, a gig at the Star Trek Convention on June 5th at Burton
  Upon Trent. Tours of the US of A and Japan (!) in September and the UK in
  October.

- The Ledge Of Darkness project moves on and HW are getting some tracks together.
  Dave hasn´t done only a just a holiday in the States for a month but he visited
  Lemmy and Mike Moorcock, both of whom will play a part in it if everything
  falls into place.

- HW are supposed to do the soundtrack for the next series of Babylon 5.

- New albums: DAWN OF HAWKWIND with unreleased versions of _Come on_, _My baby´s
  gone_, Dealing with the devil_, _Roll `em Pete_, _ Bring it on home_,
  _Illusions_, _Get yourself together_, _What´s the matter_, _Bottle up_,
  _Diamond ring_, _Hurry on sundown_, _Cymbaline_, _MotU_. All pre HW Dave Brock
  and early HW tracks, to be released in April.
  BASS RITUAL - THE ORIGINAL MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, another dance remixes CD.

- Dave told Brian that someone is working on various HW videos, incl. stuff from
  the 80`s and that the Acid Daze festival at Leeds (´88) will be released on
  video.

- Dave is working on CD´s of the Sonic Assassins gig in ´77 and of HW at
  Glastonbury 1990 and if anyone can help out with photos from those gigs, or a
  Sonic Assassins gig poster, Dave would be delighted.

There are more news on HW related bands and already released HW CD´s, but then
again no real news to us!
