It's "Dead" Fred Reeves from Inner City Unit.  Fine violin work from him
(with ICU) on "Wildhunt" from 'NewAnatomy' and especially "Stonehenge Who
Knows" (a song that beats most of Hawkwind's 80s output) from 'The
Presidents Tape'.  And his keyboard playing during his brief tenure with
Hawkwind (c.83-84) is very good (better IMHO than Harvey, who replaced him
on keys when Alan joined on bass).

Opinionatedly yrs,
