Can't help but wonder if they'd be so keen to tackle a bunch of Millwall fans holding the same placards?

There's a new issue of Prog magazine out, and guess what? They kindly asked me to write about Hawkwind again 😊, a relatively short but hopefully interesting piece about Hall Of The Mountain Grill ahead of the upcoming box, inc some words from remix king Stephen W Tayler... 1/2

My reviews of In Your Area and SpaceBrock weren't THAT bad, surely?

My 18 month old daughter stood over my Record Collector Hawkwind special edition, without any clothes on, aimed and pissed.

Really thrilled with reactions to Marion Lloyd-Langton's memoir of husband rock guitar legend Huw. Moving memoir of the Hawkwind guitarist by the woman who knew him best … takes us through the highs and lows of being an itinerant musician, as the title suggests [Prog Magazine]
