HW: Hawkwind Advice Sought

[Thomas, Guy]

Of course - the finest video released is the Brixton 15.8.92 video! (but
then again, I may be a little biased as I filmed half of it!)

                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,

                        -Doug
