HW: Hawkwind and Motorhead

[The Rocker]

Innocent question - aren't HW in the habit of taking legal action against
promoters who advertise HW as appearing at gigs they're not booked for.
I'm sure I read that somewhere?

this as meaning that we are not playing them. If anything changes, we will
post to this list and do an announcement on Mission Control immediately.

Walthamstow is confirmed and Brighton is 90% certain. As soon as the rest

announced here and on Mission Control.
