    New Hawkwind guest vocalist...

    I was rather surprised to find that TV and radio presenter Matthew Wright has guested with Hawkwind and has even sung on their new album Take Me To Your Leader:

    Strange indeed... :|

    Good God! The mind boggles.

    Anyway, I've appeared at the Fairfield Halls, too (although it wasn't with Hawkwind and I was nine).

          In a tongue in cheek piece in today's Sun, Matthew himself wonders if Dave Brock's brain is 'chemically challenged after years of challenging chemicals.' Fair play to Wrighty, he's not taking it too seriously :lol:

          Arthur Brown appears on the new album too and there's also a track about Robert Calvert on there.

              Because... because... oh God I don't know! :D

              As I keep saying, The Sun is the paper that called Michael Moorcock 'a person of rare goodness and sanity', but that was after he got the writer drunk and before Rupert Murdoch took it over. I have no defence, I'm um...

                I think it's disgusting to condescend to those of us who might have experimented a little with chemicals during a few brief days in our youth.
                Doesn't mean to say they've had any affect.
                Who's Dave Brock, by the way ?

                  :lol:

                  By the way, the 'chemically challenged' comment was a self-deprecating reference by Wright, speculating how he was allowed to perform with Hawkwind in the first place. I didn't really make that clear earlier.

                    I don't know this Wright bloke. Is his TV any good? Does he have any obvious political or libertarian leanings?

                      Iirc, Matthew Wright was the chap who accidently fingered John Leslie as the TV presenter who (allegedly) raped Ulrika Johnson and whose resulting trial (at which he was found not guilty of the charges) gave the world Abi Titmuss.

                      Bastard! :x

                      _For another eternity Allard swam through seas without end, all green and cool and deep, where distorted creatures drifted, sometimes attacking him.
                      _And then, at last, he had reached the real world – the world he had created, where he was God and could create or destroy whatever he wished.
                      _He was supremely powerful. He told planets to destroy themselves, and they did. He created suns. Beautiful women flocked to be his. Of all men, he was the mightiest. Of all gods, he was the greatest."

                        You wouldn't catch me fingering John Leslie.

                        Or Abi Titmuss.
