HW: Hawkwind mention

[Frank Weil]

In what may be a first, Hawkwind is mentioned in Conde Nast Traveler
magazine, one of the leading travel magazines. The October, 2002, issue
has a supplement on "The Treasures of Britain". On page 8, in the
"music" section, they list Glastonbury Festival in Somerset as the
number one attraction. Here is the extract:


"... Eavis founded the festival in 1970 when he persuaded T. Rex's Marc
Bolan to perform in his fields. That first event drew 1,500 people. The
following year came Hawkwind, Traffic, David Bowie, Joan Baez, and
Fairport Convention, and attendance shot up to 12,000. ..."


Granted that this is not the biggest mention of Hawkwind ever, but just
the fact that the editors felt that this was useful information and
listed Hawkwind first is significant in itself.
