HW: So Alan's back!

[Melvyn Vincent]

Yeh....sure Ron did make an impact as far as stage presence is concerned
(particulary on the 'Love in Space'Tour. But having seen Bob Calvert with
HW a number of times in the 70's,there was no comparison as far as Ron is
concerned. For a start.....Rons vocal deliverance on many HW songs is
pretty bad ....( I didn't like his rather strangulated shrieking style
which made it virtually impossible to make out any words). I thought
Calverts vocal tones were a lot more versatile and he had a way of
delivering the words in perfect sync with what the rest of the band were
playing. This is all quite surprising when you consider the fact that Bob
was the more 'unstable character' of the two.
For a while I was prepared to give Ron Tree the benefit of the
doubt........Until...that is......I saw HW at Croydon at the end of their
mini tour last year. I really thought he spoilt it!
I did notice that near the end,Dave Brock wandered off during the middle of
a number and stood on a platform at the back of Chadwicks drums with his
arms folded, observing what was going on,on the stage below him. I wondered
what he was thinking while Ron was prancing and shrieking around the stage?

As for Alan Davey?......That guys HW through and through,and I'm really
glad he's back.

Oh!.....A question for the older HW fans on this discussion list.
ANDY DUNKLEY??????
What did happen to him?
Will he re-surface as the 'everpresent' resident DJ at the Brixton Reunion?
