Robert Calvert Documentary in the works

[Trev (Judge)]

Hi Lord and Steve,

I dont have any footage or recordings of Bob, but I would be glad to relate
any memories I have.  I played guitar on his "Hype" album and performed at
several gigs with him in the early 80's.  I regard his songs as being
generally the best Hawkwind had to offer, especially from a musicians point
of view.

>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.
