HW: Don't give up the day job

[Doug Pearson]

This is a good one!  I only know a few (many of which I'm not too sure
about, so please correct me where I'm wrong!) ...

This wouldn't refer to an associate of the band (whose name is on most of
their recent albums), rather than a member, would it?

That would be Bridget, right?  (I know she was a teacher while in the Hippy
Slags before Hawkwind)

>Painting and decorating

Alan?  I seem to remember reading an interview with him in 'Hawkfan'
shortly after he joined, saying that was what he did before Hawkwind.

Is Alan Powell one of these?

Huw (at least in the 70s)

Simon King

>Gentleman farmer

Nik?  I'm not sure I'd use the word "gentleman" to describe him ...
"all-around cool cat", maybe ...

>Busker
>Heavy metal legend

uh ... Ginger Baker? ;^)

And what about "bicycle shop owner"?  Or "woodcutter"? (both in Canada,
interestingly enough)
