HAWKWIND:  GIANT TOUR

Hawkwind embark on a mammoth British tour this winter - with almost 30
concert dates stretching into February next year.   The tour will be
divided into two sections, with a handful of dates before Christmas and
another 22 concerts in the New Year.

The opening date is at the Newcastle City Hall on December 12,
continuing at the Glasgow Apollo (13), Manchester Palace (14),
Birmingham Odeon (15) and the Southend Kursaal (21).

The band then take a two-week Christmas break before starting the rest
of the tour which will climax with a concert at St. George's Hall,
Bradford, on February 12.

As a prelude to the British tour, Hawkwind will also be appearing in
France and Belgium during an eight-day concert series which ends at the
beginning of December.

And, immediately after the tour, Hawkwind's Simon King, Alan Powell and
Simon House will be working with writer Michael Moorcock's group, Deep
Fix, who will be recording their first album.
