Don't know how many folk will have received one but I had a Hawkwind
Feedback letter from Brian Tawn yesterday.   I won't type all of it in
(if you send an SAE to Brian Tawn, 27 Burdett Road, Wisbech, Cambs, PE13
2PR he might have some spare to send out) but he comments that the
upcoming releases are:

Hawkwind Year 2000 Codename Hawkwind Vol One (this is out - it's a
hopefully final reissue of Space Ritual 2 and Early Daze reissued
reissues)

Glastonbury (Travellers Field) which will be Glastonbury 1990
Greasy Truckers which might be the full HW set from Feb 1972
Collectors Series Vol 1 - Live 1982.   Dougle CD of the whole set.
Collectors Series Vol 2 - Complete 1979.  Double CD of the whole set
Collectors Series Vol 4 - Atomhenge 76 - the live 1976 set
Vol 3 appears to be missing somewhere.   None of these appear to be out
yet but must be due soon.

Also promised:   Hawkwind Family Tree on Voiceprint.  Finishing touches
are apparently still being made to this..........(!) but it might be out
in Oct/Nov featuring Dave, Ron Jerry and Richard individual offerings +
cuts from Hawkwind including a 10 min Motorway City.

There's also a Hawkwind studio album about two-thirds complete and a
solo album from Dave apparently called Sex Dreams with guests Crum and
Richard on it.

Gigs have apparently been offered in the USA and UK for October/November
but nothing has yet been arranged.    The suggestion is that reunion
guests might appear at different times during the tour

Other comments are that the Spacehead CD In Space we Trust is out on the
Dead Earnest lable.   Adrian Shaw's latest CD is called Head Cleaner.
Here and Now's new CD is called Gospel of Free and Dr. Hasbeen have been
(excuse pun!) producing 3 new CDs.

Dave Watson (who wrote the Hawkwind history "Born To Go" book) and Gavin
Wilson have a band called "Time Brothers" based on the Hawkwind sound
and have taken the Space Ritual theme together with added dialogue from
the Hawklog and recorded a selection of songs.   Dave Brock has approved
the issue of a small number of CDs which will be available from Gavin
sometime in November.    They are looking for a drummer if anyone is
reading this in the West Lothian area of Scotland!!

There are comments on Bedouin and Alan Davey's Motorhead tribute band
and also on the ToTP2 showing of Silver Machine which apparently Dave
Brock says was a composite from more than one film.


That mostly covers everything in brief but contact Brian Tawn (Hawkfan)
for any further info.

there!
