HW: Was it you?

[Nick Medford]

Calling US readers:

Cast your minds back to October 2000, Brixton Academy, Hawkestra. As I
stood in the (now legendary) queue, there were 2 gents behind me who had
come over from the US. They were approached by a young black guy who I
think was hoping to interest them in some of his fine pharmaceutical wares.
They declined (although I won't publicise the reason they gave!) but got
into conversation with him about that night's event. He was mightily
impressed (as was I, eavesdropping in front) that they had come all the way
from the US for the night's festivities.

"So what sort of music is it then?" he asked

"SPACE ROCK!"

"So what's that then?"

Answer was something along the lines of- the original version of all that
trance music you youngsters have nowadays. He seemed quite interested by
that.

Just over a year later, it belatedly occurs to me that the two gents in
question may well be on this list. One has curly hair, mid to late 30s, the
other I cannot recall now... but the question goes out-

was it you?
