Ahoy there Cap’n! Bit slow off the mark with this one in that the ship has already left its dock, but the new season of Rotten Hill Revue is under way (full listing below).
Actually we kicked off in style on November 13 with the Dirty Strangers and John Sinclair (am I allowed to prefix that with “The Legendary”? I think I am), who intoned his poetry over both bands. If that night is anything to go by we’re in for a good season and I really ought to try to get individual flyers out for each night. The theme this time is 10s, 20s and 30s travel.
In a rather lovely irony (although strictly by the definition of the Alanis Morissette Little Book of Irony), on December 18 we have Space Ritual playing, the band led by former (and founder) Hawkind member Nick Turner and comprising other Hawkind members.
Considering the interest in Hawkwind that my previous posts on the subject generated, I’m rather looking forward to them being on the same bill as us, not least because that means they’ll be on the same bill as Mick, so they can ask him directly whether their explorations into space rock influenced punk.
The final night of this run is New Year’s Eve, from 8pm till 6am, featuring a whole host of bands an DJs. The theme of that night is The Titanic, so come dressed for the Captain’s dinner.
Full line up (so far - and don’t get precious, the running orders aren’t fixed)
November 27Th…..Skylarkers, Langley Sisters, Dirty Strangers, Rotten Hill Gang
December 11Th…..John Burn, Trojans, Rotten Hill Gang
December 18Th…..Matt Mau Mau, Space Ritual, Dirty Strangers, Rotten Hill Gang
December 31St…..Freak Elite, Skylarkers, Matt Mau Mau, Savage Nomads, John Burn, Johnny Boy, Dirty Strangers, Rotten Hill Gang….

*Actually I’m so slow off the mark, that while I was writing this, Nick Turner posted a comment to my last article on the subject. I think it’s going to be a fun night!

Nic turners playing? I don’t care if Hawkwind invented toilet paper, if they did, then Nic Turner put in the cardboard tube that’s in the middle (that’s a compliment by the way, in case you were confused, I was.) he’s good live, very entertaining and he engages his audience, not po faced like his old band leader is.
