Hi folks,

typed out the txt from the NME. have put everything only the hawkwind bit, best
line of the blurb not included is
The auditorium itself is so full of herbal fumes you can bearly make out the no
smoking signs" HEHE. Anyhow onto the review.

" Hawkwind emerge in party mood. Having waited 25years to gain acknowledgement
as the gnarled overlords of Brit-psych, there seems to be little point in
spoiling things now. The punk -acid blues begin. Hours pass.

It becomes clear that not only were Hawkwind building sonic temples when Ian
Astbury was busying himself with sandcastles, but that everyone from Mogwai to
Jason Pierce( spiritualized) to The Music owes these pangenerational wastrels a
favour, whether they admit it or not.

"see ya in another 25years," growls Dave Brock at the close of a murderous final
'hashish'. The psych wars will rumble on, but tonight the Hawks won out."

It'll do for now, but hopefully the reviews will be awesome from the tour,
certainly I loved the RFH show...

Regards
iain
