HW: Father and son

[colm mcwilliams]

I too thought Ginger's drums on Levitation lifted it above most of the other
80's hawkwind material. I was too young to see Hawkwind in the early 80's
but would have loved to be at that bristol gig! :-)

Also did Danny Thompson actually play on "Xenon Codex" as the drums sound so
leaden it could actually be a drum machine.

cheers

Hi Alice,

I thought Gingers drums were great on Levitation, I thought his tribal style
really moved the music along. However live I agree he was poo.

I saw him at bristol on the 1980 tour and he did a drum solo !!!!!  The
booing
from the audience was great but that turned to huge laughter when his big
gong
behind him fell from the stand as he hit it !! very very spinal tap <G>

regards
Iain
