HW: Hawklords

[SHLL (Scott Heller)]

Hello

I just saw on the dimeadozen torrent site a copy of the recent surprise Hawklords show from the Sonic rock Solstice in Wales. It appears that the hawklords-barney bubbles thing will happen on Sunday Nov 29th in London at the 229 Venue.


The Barney Bubbles Memorial Concert will be held at the 229 venue in London's Great Portland Street on 29th November. Confirmed so far - Hawklords featuring the New Bubblettes, Brian James Gang, Inner City Unit Big Band, Imperial Pompadours, and the Pentameters Players performing "The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice" by Robert Calvert."

I am still puzzled by them called this group the Hawklords as there is not a single member of the hawklords in the line up and they don't even play any songs from the Hawklords 25 years on, Over the Top 12" or PXR5, which I would say are the only legit things to really call hawklords material. It is like Klaus Meine (singer in the Scorpions) going out on tour as the Michael Schenker Group and only playing old Scorpions songs..... I don't get it... Why??
This was the setlist and the band:
