HW Hawkwind at Wembley & Other Stuff

[Colin J Allen]

Rye was good wasn't it?  I also thought that Spacehead were splendid! The
same thought struck me; however, I think the difference is that Alan is
writing new songs and has a professional band.  Nik, on the other hand,
seems incapable of writing new material and has a totally amateur band.
