HW/NIK: Greasy Truckers Party 2001

[Nick Medford]

I can't resist having another go at this, although since I was wrong before
when I felt much more confident, I'll probably be even wider of the mark
this time.

Could it have been... pause.. roll of thunder.. The Damned?

Lemmy played one gig with them and I have a feeling he played on their
cover of "White Rabbit". Or possibly on "Video Nasty".

Sensible played at least one gig with Nik Turner I believe, under the name
of Chaos Factory...

>>, another member of this band guested on an
>>> album by a third ex-Hawkwind member's post-Hawkwind band

Struggling with this bit I have to admit, though I'd guess it must have been
Brian James doing the guest spot, on what I have no idea

Now then- the Damned's drummer was Rat Scabies- BUT he departed
briefly in the early days, and until his return his place was filled by... JON
MOSS

latterly of... pause... Culture Club.

Yes, you read it right.

Doug, any closer this time?
