the gig September 1989 Brixton where Lemmy came onstage and ripped Alan's
bass off him!!

Bedouin tribute band called Sword of the East? :-)))) Ian

full-time after the reunion, but it looks like Bedouin will take a back seat
rather than disappear.While we all applaud the former, believe me, once you
all get to hear the new Bedouin album (as opposed to the next Alan Davey
solo that we are doing), you'll regret the latter.Andy Garibaldi (who does
know)

>         Hi,I'm wondering if the original rumour of AD's return is in fact
a mis-interpretation of a comment in Brian Tawn's latest newsletter.In it,
Brian was listing AD dates, but then said that in his opinion the ones
around 21st Oct are dubious due to the HW gig.I read that as meaning that AD
wouldn't want to be competing for the same audience or even that he'd want
to be in the audience himself.Maybe others read that as meaning something
else?I dunno, would the originator care to comment?Personally I don't want
to see any bassist other than Lemmy at Brixton, for obvious reasons.Jez

I don't want to sound cheeky but there seems to be a lot of reliable sources
out there with no name so personally when someone like Alan Davey himself
tells you this kind of information i would tend to belive it, I mean when i
first asked if he had anything to do with the brixton gig he said I've got a
lot to do with it, then he told me that he was back in hawkwind and then we
were talking again about the brixton gig thats when he mentioned that there
would be old & new hawkwind members there, so maybe a lot of these ex
hawkwind members are going to be there, maybe doing there own stuff as well
as having something to do with the Hawkwind part of it for instance Alan
said that bedouin will be doing a set at some point in the evening, but take
from this what you will.

p.s. No matter what happens lets face facts it will be EXCELLANT.

Cheers.
Gordon.
