ALDER-SHOT DOWN IN THE NIGHT

Just about recovered enough to get this down. 

Despite the lack of full rear projection and the smoke machine, the Aldershot show left Croydon in the dust.  The band were enjoying the gig as much as we were, and the sound quality was immaculate. You could actually make out the lyrics to the owl and the pussycat!.

"You better believe it" is now extended even further with some great effects from Simons violin in the break.  Jerry's guitar work was far more audible tonight, it cut through the mix sending our heads into orbit!....this man is so cool.

Ron was completely off his Tree, resplendent in day glo body paint(self applied), he stalked the stage like some crazed messiah....screaming out the gospel of Hawkwind.  Respect this man and where he is at......he is the genuine article!

Huw, who had turned out an outstanding support set joined the band for "Motorway city", and the monster that is Hawkwind immediately sucked him into its vortex creating an eruption of sound that  moved through your skull like some organic beast on acid.  It had now gone beyond what humans term as music.

Richard Chadwick is the hub of the emanations.  In direct contact with the spheres, the channelling of power ( from what is secretly disguised as a drumkit)
into the primordial tribal beat, just leaves you overcome.  Combine this with Alan's demon bass.........just feel the shivers people.

Captain Dave somehow manages to control this terrible power by his cosmic stare.  It takes just a glance at a fellow band member to pull out of a crash dive of which you would think there is no escape.  That's why he is Capt Dave folks!

Aldershot for us has become a never forget gig.  Something that stands out as a pinnacle after the mega Brixton/Astoria concerts.  Just a small (military) town on a quiet Sunday night THAT GOT BLOWN AWAY!

Our thanks once again to Kris for her warm welcome and interest (you're the best), a really warm, and focussed lady  who deserves respect. To Dave for the autographs and photocall (nice fleece) . Ron, for being Ron. Jerry and Richard, it was a pleasure!!  And if you are reading this David, thanks for keeping the tea coming. To everyone else we met and chatted to, we will be in touch.

GARY & ANNA
