Originally launched in the early 1980s, the “Hawkwind: Friends & Relations” series explored the wider Hawkwind universe through a mix of live recordings, studio material and associated projects connected to the band’s ever-expanding creative orbit. Continuing the long-running series, “Hawkwind: Friends & Relations Volume 6” will be released in August, further documenting the many strands of the band’s enduring legacy.
Featuring material from Hawkwind alongside solo and side projects from members of the current line-up, the collection also expands outwards to include contributions from friends, collaborators and the band’s own crew collective T.O.S.H. (Technicians Of Spaceship Hawkwind), whose recordings feature guest appearances from Hawkwind musicians. The release presents a broad snapshot of the creative world surrounding the band today, from Space Rock and Psychedelia to Experimental Electronics and Atmospheric instrumentals.
The release will coincide with the Hawkwind Friends & Relations weekend at Morecambe Winter Gardens, featuring live performances from Hawkwind and associated bands and projects connected to the wider Hawkwind family.
