I received the following email from a gentleman names Steve Rowlstone who
recently contacted me regarding a ROBERT CALVERT film project he is working
on. I've included Steve's email at the end in case you care to contact him.
Here it is:

What we are doing is hoping to produce a documentary and a tribute to Robert
Calvert. We are interviewing as many people as we can who worked with Robert
i.e. Nik Turner, Adrian Shaw, Steve Pond, Simon House and others, as well as
Brian Tawn, Jill Calvert, Pete Pavli, Michael Moorcock, Tommy Grenas, Steve
Sneyd, Fred Reeves, Roger Neville-Neil. We are hoping that we will be able
to produce a documentary that covers all aspects of Robert's output - music,
plays, poetry and books - a lot of which people don't know much about, as
well as trying to provide more of an understanding of the person rather than
the persona.
All of the profits raised from the project have been offered to Jill
Calvert, who wants them donated to a charity that both she and Robert were
in favour of - one of the animal campaign groups I think - I've got it
written down somewhere.
We are also trying to build up a photo-gallery, so obviously we are looking
for any photo's of Robert - either on stage or more personal ones if
possible, as well as audio and video footage of Robert with Hawkwind and
solo. We are building up a large collection of live material and on the
tribute part of the project we are hoping to put out as much of a concert as
possible - just Calvert songs for obvious legal reasons. Although I've not
yet managed to get in touch with Dave Brock, hopefully soon and maybe we'll
be given permission - you never know!
As well as the docu-tribute, there will be a booklet with contributions from
Steve Sneyd, Jill Calvert, Steve Pond, Rod Goodway, Roger N-N, Brian Tawn -
either something written about Robert or recollections and stories that
didn't make there way into the film. I'm hoping to collect lots of peoples
favourite memories and stories - just little snippets so that people who
never met Robert, or ever saw him on stage can begin to see why he is still
such a respected and popular man - a genius who has affected many lives
either directly or indirectly through his music and words.

A GATHERING OF THE TRIBES
Pooterland were involved in helping to promote what was to be a legendary
Psychedelic/Multi-media Experience in London. At the time we were
contracturally bound not to issue any details regarding the venue and names
of the artists but events  have taken a twist so here's the deal:
The event was planned to take place at the famous Roundhouse in Chalk Farm,
London on Sunday 25th May 2003 and was billed as  Implosion At The
Roundhouse 2003 - A Gathering of The Tribes.
In light of the war in Iraq the original sponsors of a series of events
(including this one) have cancelled leaving this wonderful project out on a
limb.
The Implosion promoters want to do this now on their own but need to gauge
popularity to see how viable this would be to do  and if it looks good the
event COULD WELL TAKE PLACE!!
What you all need to so is send an email to the following address and show
your support: ig at btconnect.com
It is VITALLY IMPORTANT that the subject line of the email is ROUNDHOUSE
This will be a 8+ hour event and tickets are likely to be around £20-25 each.
The following artists are booked to appear (this line up is AMAZING):
Blue Cheer, Crazy World of Arthur Brown, The Deviants, Dantalions Chariot,
Kevin Ayers, Man, Michael Horowitz, The Purple  Gang, Terry Reid, Linda
Lewis and guests will all be appearing. There aren't many of us left but
those that are, will be there en masse and
hopefully younger people who "connect" will be  there too.
On the decks for this monumentous occasion is the legendary Jeff Dexter (The
Milky Bar Kid) of UFO, Middle Earth and the  original Implosion at The
Roundhouse fame.
It will be an excursion into the past but with todays technology at our
disposal. (web cast and such).
