Does anybody know the contact information (presumably
someone that is likely to be booking the acts for
whatever stage has the prog/space acts, if any) for
bands looking to secure a playing spot at Glasters?  I
kinda figure the thing is already set for this year,
but Emil of Korai Orom asked me about it.  I guess
they would like to play there soon/someday.

Um....you *did* see my post about Nik & Space Ritual
playing there this year, did you not?  Is that not
'similar' enough to Hawkwind?  :)

Yeah, and Korai Orom is playing as well, and they're
damn good.  So is ColourHaze (Thursday night), though
they're on the louder/fuzzier side of space.  I asked
the Herzberg folks to pick up Litmus, who were on the
Kosmos bill (but it was cancelled), but I kinda doubt
that will happen...the lineup is close to full now. :(

I'd love to have Eloy come back and play at least a
few more shows...I'm disappointed that Frank seems to
be quietly disappearing from the scene.  I'm on the
yahoo list, so if they do announce any reunion dates,
I'll post 'em.

Uh, Hawkfest?  :)

Grakkl (FAA)

P.S. Mike, you gonna be at Middlesbrough?  or any of
the other 'northernish' gigs?
