Gedh Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Rickie Lee Jones does a good acoustic set. Saw her at the Royal Festival Hall a couple or so years a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 As I said previously in another thread, they deserve to be there, as one of the extremely few acts still going who played the second Glastonbury in 1971 (Al Stewart should be invited too!) they are part of the festival heritage. I’ve already got a ticket for their 50th anniversary tour so if there’s a clash I’m not too worried but I hope to be there, Rickie Lee Jones too! Super!

Cooter Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Well pleased about this but shame God Lemmy won't be turning up to join them for a Silver Machine encore, what a moment that would have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could go to the Albert hall gig but ah well. Would be good if Nik Turner played with them as he is always there, but unlikely I guess.

There used to be a band called the pink fairies who used to play with hawkwind, they had a couple of tracks on the Glastonbury Fayre triple album. Wonder if they are still going?

sparkythetortoise Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 With the Cure headlining this year, I thought I might finally brave the Pyramid this year, but I can't see that trumping Hawkwind at Glastonbury - never thought I would see it - so cross fingers they're not on the Saturday. ...and yes, surely, if Nik was ever going to parp with them ever again this will be the time - what a healing experience that would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm remembering my rock history properly, wasn't one of the original motorhead from the fairies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm remembering my rock history properly, wasn't one of the original motorhead from the fairies? Larry Wallis played with them for a while so yes, your memory is correct. They sort of played the Spirit of 71 stage on the 40th anniversary, though only as Mick Farren's backing band. I grimaced my way through it, hoping to hear Do It or Uncle Sam's Last Freakout, but we only got some pretty grim sounding stuff from Mr Farren's Deviant days.

One really big regret was my decision a long time ago to sell my original copy of the vinyl Glastonbury Fayre triple album with its pop up pyramid, booklet etc. That’s where I heard the pink fairies.

billum Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Last year Hawkwind played Citadel. TBF after a few songs I wasn't really feeling it, and then they brought on Mike Batt (yes, he of Womble) on keyboards, and I must admit I felt a calling elsewhere very soon after... However, your mileage might well vary! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
