Er.. Hawkwind are playing a free festival in Norwich in a couple of months'
time, no?

And if you're casting your net back as far as '78, there have been any
number of free HW gigs and benefit gigs since then.

On the subject of Nik: what is the deal with "Nik's Space Ritual", "Past or
Future", "Prophets Of Time" etc? Could anyone post comments on these
albums... I'd like to hear them but I'm a bit too sceptical of the whole
"Nik-rehashes-his-glorious-past...again" bit to just go out on a limb.
