Hawkwind

A Bit About The Band

Hawkwind are the originators of 'space-rock'. Over the many years since their formation in 1969 they have probably had more members and line-up changes than many bands have done gigs, with what sometimes appears to be a rotating door policy of whoever is around at the time!

The band has considered lighting an integral part from the outset, with lighting engineers, poets, dancers all being part of the band. The only constant factor throughout has been leader Dave Brock although drummer Richard Chadwick has been present since 1988. They became well known for playing (particularly) free festivals and now regularly run their own. Other recent members include Tim Blake, Mr Dibs and Niall Hone, with 2018 seeing a tour with an orchestra, conducted by Mike Batt and with Arthur Brown fronting the band.
