01.12.09 - Huw update

Hello Folks,

Marion has asked me to tell you that we need some more positive thoughts and prayers for Huw. Unfortunately the doctors are not happy with his kidneys and if it does not improve in the next month he will have to go back on dialysis. He is also anaemic and needs to put on weight........So come on everyone, lets put our minds together and send him some good energy...

The good news is that he says nothing will stop him doing the 9th at the Brook and it will probably do him good!

I will update you all with any news as I get it.

Thanks, Kris x

If this continues, its is likely that he will make a full recovery

Although he is not out of danger yet, this is a fantastic step in the right direction...

So keep up your thoughts and prayers, they are definitely helping and giving both Huw and Marion lots of strength when they need it most..

They both pass on their thanks to you all.

06.10.09 - Latest Huw update

Hello folks!

We saw Huw yesterday and he is in good spirits

Although he is not out of the woods yet, he is certainly going in the right direction and the positiveness that has come from all your messages and prayers has certainly helped.....

The next few days are going to be crucial, so keep up those positive thoughts and prayers....

Unfortunately Huw also broke his finger when he was very ill and had it operated on today.........(It should fully recover and he will be back playing his guitar as soon as he is able...)

We had a little caption competition at the hospital, but would welcome any suggestions you have, please post these to either the forum or myspace for the attached photo

All entries will be passed on to Huw and Marion to judge...

We will keep you updated of any news...

Love Kris

 

 

04.10.09 - More news regarding Huw Lloyd Langton

Hi all

One of our forum members happens to work at the same hospital where Huw is being treated and has just posted the following message which you'll no doubt want to read -

Just a quick message from Marion and Huw to post :

Ah! Thank you. Actually you could post a message from me please.

Yesterday Huw was in a remarkable frame of mind and is being very positive and philosophical about it all. Quote "look so what if it is dialysis for rest of my life or a kidney transplant c'est la vie - I can think of a lot worse things cancer being one of them". So he is back fighting the cause. Which of course gives me a huge amount of
energy to carry on.

I believe the wonderful prayers, good vibes and support sent out by the Hawkwind family have given him real courage to fight this. So thank you one and all and keep sending them up!

 

 

03.10.09 - Huw Lloyd Langton very ill

Sadly we need to tell you all that Huw is very ill at the moment due to his kidneys failing. This is as a result of a recent bout of food poisoning, the doctors are working to find out more and in the meantime he has been put on dialysis at The Dorset County Hospital.

Please send all your thoughts, prayers and good vibes to Huw and Marion to get them through this.

If you would like to send a card, please send it to :-

Huw Lloyd Langton
Prince of Wales Ward
Dorset County Hospital
Williams Avenue
Dorchester
Dorset DT1 2JY

We will update you of any news as soon as we hear it.
 

 

07.09.09 - A couple of things for you

First off some of you may have noticed this on the home page but it's worth repeating here -

Hawkwind are subject of a 1 hour special entitled "The Mighty Wind – Hawkwind at 40" that will be aired for the first time on Planet Rock radio this coming Saturday at 7pm UK time, the show will feature interviews with both the band and fans recorded at the recent Porchester Hall gigs and promises to appeal to both the hard core fan as well as those less familiar with the band, so i doubt that part applies to anyone reading this.

The show will also be repeated on the 17th September (time unknown) and as well as this it will also feature on the stations media player meaning you will be able to access it for 7 days after the initial broadcast via the internet. Planet rock is available on DAB digital radio and the world wide web, to visit the stations web site click here.

Secondly, tomorrow, the 8th September marks the first anniversary of the sad passing of Hawkwind keyboard player Jason Stuart, may we suggest that Hawkfans the world over take a brief moment during the day to remember him and raise a glass in his honour whenever and wherever you happen to be.

Thanks for reading
 

 

04.09.09 - Amorphous Androgynous album launch party update please read

The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that the date of the Matter @ O2 gig has been put back to the 30th October.

We have literally been informed of this within the last hour so wanted to let fans know as soon as possible.

Our understanding is that the 30th October is now the preferred date for the show but is not 100% cast in stone as this announcement is being written, as soon as we have a definite date this entry will be updated to reflect this,

Apologies for this but please be aware that this is outside the control of Hawkwind as the band are appearing on someone else's bill and as such have no influence over their decision to move the date back.

In what is becoming an increasingly busy summer we can now confirm that Hawkwind will be playing the Green Man festival in Wales on the 23rd August. as part of 11 hours of "Space Music", for more details see below or visit the festival's own web site by clicking here.

On Sunday night in the Far Out Tent Amorphous Androgynous will be performing as a band in their own right as well as curating 11 hours of Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble cosmic space music. Bands will include legendary space rockers Hawkwind, beautiful folk from the mellifluously voiced Alisha Sufit (of 70s MAGIC CARPET fame ), The Yellow Moon Band hot off the space launch pads of last year’s album 'Travels Into Several Remote Nations Of The World”. Nick Nicely will enthrall with his colour saturated universe of psychedelic songs and Cranium Pie will cover the space-prog end of the MPB spectrum, with Amorphous Androgynous themselves covering all sonic dimensions in between. On the DJ front expect to hear a spectrum illuminated by psychedelic, funkoid infused progtronica, to pagan love vibrations and Indian sitar cover versions. Basically expect the unexpected to liberate your mind, soul and your feet from Andy Votel and the Monstrous Psychedelic impresario himself Gaz Cobain! With lighting by the Bardo States it'll be an 11 hr visual and sonic feast!
