"We are happy to announce that Hawkwind will headline the closing weekend of the Morecambe Bay Fringe Festival in August with a celebration at the iconic Winter Gardens.

Two days of Hawkwind Friends and Relations will kick off on the evening of Saturday 8th August with a full Hawkwind concert plus support.

This will be followed by an aftershow party at a nearby venue until 3am.

The festivities will continue from midday on Sunday 9th August with a day of live music featuring a mix of Hawkwind Friends and Relations’ bands, poetry, family friendly activities, and a live Q&A with the Hawkwind team.

The event closes on Sunday evening with a special premiere film screening of a live Hawkwind concert.

Hawkwind Friends and Relations Tickets will be on sale from 10am on Friday 27th March from https://www.skiddle.com/ and are priced at £70 for the two days, including the aftershow party.

Special event camping is available from Sunnyside Campsite. Hard standing and hook ups available. Call 01524418373 to book.

We will also be booking a warm up show for Friday August 7th. More details of that very soon."

I think the football club have a hand in running the Car Boot Sale - there's some info on facebook via the link below, albeit from 2024.

And I thought she just strummed the strings...
Looking forward to seeing her now.

Fabulous singer and very good acoustic player. It's great he is still playing and singing and I always enjoy seeing him perform solo or in various combos.

I’d love to see them back at Cropredy. Huge energy!
