Just wondering if anyone on here is going to the re-arranged hawklords gig in june?

I'm working a night shift the night before but will be going after a few hours kip. I'll be the one asleep in the corner.

If was I was in that part if the world, I'd go an nave a look.

If I had the cash I would go, but as I don't I won't.

Would like to go 'cos I enjoyed Herne Bay. I'm hope to drive down from North Wales and ditch the car somewere outside London and get public transport to the Roundhouse, then drive home. It's a bit knackering but I did it for Herne Bay last year and Walthamstow in 2002.
This is if I have Time/money of course! I'm not too worried about getting tickets in advance cos the venue has a capacity of over 3000. With all the will in the world it's not going to sell out in advance IMO

I'll be there. The politics belong with the band and, therefore, not my business. If it was gonna take my money out of Hawkwind pockets I'd be differently minded but, as I can afford it, I'm happy to be there.

I live in Kent and it'll be a bugger to get back from but... Davey, Tree, Shaw etc. and Liquid Len at the Roundhouse? Couldn't miss it.

I’ll second that Jimski, really looking forward to it. I just have a feeling it might be really good…..
The poster design for the gig is great, real retro-70’s feel. I emailed Hawklords info about getting a copy. No luck so far but they are planning to do a t-shirt with a print of it on the back.
I’ve never been to the Roundhouse before and with the whole 70’s Hawkwind/Fairies thing, it’s the stuff of legend.

BM2, and anyone else driving from far away, the best thing to do is park somewhere near a Metropolitan Line station out in the wilds of Harrow/Ruislip. Get the Met line to Finchley Road. (It’s quick) Then change to the Jubilee line and go one stop to Swiss Cottage.
Turn left out of the station, left down Adelaide Road and its 10-15 min walk.
When you see Chalk Farm station, look to your right and you’ll see the Roundhouse.
It’s the journey I always do from home (Harrow) when I go to Camden Lock market, which is next door to the Roundhouse. Well worth a mooch round before the gig as well.

I note Paul's comment about parking around Harrow. My suggestion is very similar: free parking in Pinner, a few mins from the tube station!

So that's two votes for the Metro line, then. Hmmm.

Thanks for the tip on parking. I've often lamented the lack of decent park and ride in London.

Given that it's a Sunday gig my train options are a bit limited coming from Mid Wales, so driving looks favourite.

The alternative for me is a billet with family in Brighton (they used to live in London which was always convenient) and hop down to Victoria for the last train, something I've done on a few occasions but you're always glancing at your watch.

And then there's the option of a local hotel which doesn't resolve the parking or train issues.

I'll play it by ear I think.

Thanx for travel info Paul & Graham it's good to have a few options...

Anyone know the curfew time for the Roundhouse on a Sunday? The journey across London is notorious for us Kentish types as being to blame for missing the last train home many times.
