I saw Bob on his 1988 tour just before he died, try your hardest to get a
tribute to him.

>>I received the following email from a gentleman names Steve Rowlstone who
>>recently contacted me regarding a film project he is working on and asked
>>me
>>to spread the word. 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.
