Lemmy even ;) ... thanks Phil, really appreciate that and I'll pass that on to Marion as well.. she tells me she's a voracious reader (a book a day!) and I've pointed her in the direction of a certain series of Venice novels!

So enjoyed reading Marion L-L's account of Hawkwind Huw's - and her - last great adventure together, travelling across America with Nektar and Brainticket... and discovering how Huw enjoyed a last meet-up with his old friend, Lemmy. 'A Wandering Minstrel' on Amazon now.

So thrilled with the first Amazon review for Marion Lloyd Langton's memoir of Hawkwind legend Huw!

Huw Lloyd Langton press cutting of Scarborough LLG gig from 88/89

Were any of you at the 'gig of the year' in Scarborough? I'm guessing this was 1988 as it seems to refer also to the aborted Hawkwind USA tour around that time?

Did you have a liaison with a Joli Joka Kissagram? (Don't write in if so...)!

Now for the trepidation of what you make of it :)

@ianabrahams.bsky.social , look what’s arrived in Venice!

Best not mention the fantastic double decker TGV train I took from Paris to Zurich last week then...

Ah excellent! I hope you like the book. I'm in admiration of Marion for getting this on the page and its been a privilege to give her a bit of help.

Hello @matthew-wright.bsky.social ... do you know about this book? Any tips for getting it mentioned anywhere is greatly appreciated!

Thrilled with the amount of love for Hawkwind legend Huw Lloyd-Langton on socials following the memoir his wife and soulmate Marion has written (which I've been privileged to work on with her) arriving this weekend.

That's the one that I reviewed in Record Collector saying 'the hawk might be flying over the forest but it can't see the woods for the trees...' maybe I'm due a relisten?

Thanks Phil... look forward to hearing what you think! (Ps. Just read your Venice memoir... Hawkwind CDs, Doctor Who DVDs... a memoir after my own heart! A great read!).

Thank you!

It's very much not a Hawkwind book - it's Marion's memories of their life together and a multitude of musical associations.

Huw Lloyd-Langton press cutting from his Amon Din days.

One of the great things about helping Marion LL with her memoir of life with Huw Lloyd-Langton, has been finding out a bit more about the many bands he was associated with over the years that have become a bit mythical in his legend... such as Amon Din.

For all the (several, honest!) people who've been asking what I've been working on over the last six months or so, here's the news... I've been helping Marion Lloyd-Langton with her memoir of the great Hawkwind and classic rock guitarist, the much-missed Huw. A Wandering Minstrel. Links to follow!

I had the last four and got three wrong answers so there's at least two more possible...

Lovely!

Brilliant piece, Matt. I'm not sure any other writer gets to the heart and soul of a driver like you do.
