First apologies for not posting earlier, it's halfway into February nearly and this is my first post of 2008. It's been a hectic 2008, not least of all the fact that my bro has been in hospital for the last couple of weeks having undergone a major operation to remove brain tumours. The good news is he survived the op is is now recovering in hospital. Only time will tell how much he recovers, we're still not sure how much brain damage he's suffered as a result of the op.My bro's op however is one of the reasons for this post. Have you ever found yourself in a position where you ask yourself "how the hell did this happen?" The reason I ask is I had a moment like that, where I suddenly reflected on how I was talking to the wife of Huw Lloyd Langton on the telephone passing on updates on my bro's condition. You see my bro is an old friend of Huw's and as a result I ended up talking to the wife of one of my childhood heroes (Hawkwind was one of the first bands I got into as a kid).Through conversation good wishes were passed back and forth and some news. Huw's recording again and is writing new material for an upcoming album, with luck it should be complete by this time next year and I'm looking forward to hearing it. During the 80's he gave Hawkwind a distinct sound, so here's Huw with Hawkwind, live at Stonehenge.
