Academy, not Astoria, presumably. But you knew that.

Yeah, that will be a real test for the obsessives. But how does it work..
she's onstage for what, 10 minutes of a 4 hour gig, she had no part in
writing the songs, but she's able to release this stuff on her CD.
Meanwhile the Hawks haven't been able to release a thing, and haven't even
been paid for performing as far as we are aware. (Is there any progress on
this? Still fancy the idea of a day off to come and support the Hawks in
court, if it comes to that). Yet I was under the impression that she just
turned up to do the band a favour.

Would it be correct to assume that Ms Fox has better legal representation
than the band? Is is her releasing video footage somehow preventing
Hawkwind releasing anything from the event?

Also, rather ironic that she's so keen to stress "LEMMY and Hawkwind" when
the Lemster has publicly said she shouldn't have come on to sing (see
interview at www.aural-innovations.com).
