Hawkwind Oslo cancelled

[Steve Swann]

Yeah this sucks.  When I said "what else am I going to do with my hard earned money if not spend it on Hawkshows" I had in mind that the whole SR 2009 trip would cost me under $1000.  Now it's aiming to cost that much just for the change in airline tickets.....   :-P  

I had originally planned to hit both SR 2009 and HW40, but now with the enormous added cost I might end up having to forego SR 2009 and use the ticket change to attend just HW 40.

 Hej Steve

Well, I ended up going to England last weekend anyway as I had non-refundable flight tickets for the Hawklord things and I can't go in June, so I got fucked totally.... This Oslo thing is a real bummer as well, not just for me and the band who were going to play but the Scandinavian fans. Oh well.... at least we have the music...

"Paid for the flights" that's a pain I can understand... Having had to cancel my flight last week for Space Ritual 2009, the change fee is going to run me a couple hundred dollars to start with.  Add to that the fact that flights in June or whenever they re-scheduled for are currently running $800 a pop or thereabouts....   Bleah!

I was just wondering yesterday why Oslo wasn't on the website... now I know! Pity I've paid for the damn flights. And just today sent some Hawk discs over to Oslo friends who were gonna be seeing 'em for the first time, and in fact had never even heard them before... fuck, this is annoying. Now I better hope my Hamburg friend who I was telling MUST see Hawkwind at least once in their lifetime hasn't booked flights also, or I'll be in trouble! Ah well, it'll have to be just Edinburgh then. At least it's not six quid a pint here. Yet...

Well, it seems that Hawkwind's ever changing demands killed their concert in Oslo. My band, the Oresund Space Collective were suppose to play at this show but expenses were running wild and Hawkwind was being very unreasonable to the promoter (and doing very stealthy and unreasonable things like changing the agreed fee from Euros to pounds, etc..) and he had to can the show. What started out as a really great thing ended in a bummer for everyone involved and mainly due to the band themselves being excessively greedy, needy. Pity. I was really looking forward to this and so was the promoter and all my Norwegian friends....
