Some thoughts 'bout Canterbury

[Colin Allen]

Bernhard,

Thanks for the nice comment:).

Like you, I find the new line-up very exciting.  Captain Black's
contribution is particularly important; he has brought the "spaciness" back
into Hawkwind and the combination of Huw and Simon is amazing; they seem to
work so well together!

Just wait until the Autumn tour when Tim will be added to this line-up!

COLIN
