[2024 web note: much of this site
was compiled in 1997. Now 27 years ago! Wow.
I'm updating pages as and when I get time.]
The world of Hawkwind is a unique one. Over 50
years of music, even more band members, over a
hundred albums (many less than official) and
never a dull moment. They've been ridiculed but
they never gave in, always producing the music
that they wanted to, regardless of what others
thought.
One band member who's often overlooked, and
who's had more influence on Hawkwind and their
sound than anyone, apart from Dave Brock
himself, is Simon King,
their 'power drummer'. Here's a 4 minute video clip
of Simon in action, playing 'Silver Machine'
(7MB), in 1972.
I've also put in pages for Opal Butterfly
(Simon's first band), of which Robbie Milne
worked with me to put together a mini-site of
their own. Plus Jawa, the
mini-super-group and their demos.
And I also (used to) webmaster Huw Lloyd-Langton's
site. And I can still make
DVDs of his terrific 2002 LLG Walthamstowe
concert.
