Description

We welcome 3 debuts to the Real Music Club with British space rock group The Space Falcons plus Rubber Bus and Glastonbury?s former bard and singer/ songwriter Tim Hawthorn.

The Space Falcons

The Space Falcons are true Space Rock veterans. Originally formed at the Glastonbury Festival ten years ago when a motley collection of Space Rockers young and old, gathered on the Mandala Stage as a cosmic backing band for the one and only Nik Turner, Hawkwind legend and Godfather of Space Rock. Ex Hawkwind roadie Bruce Welch had played drums and guitar regularly with Nik in Hawkwind in 1971 & 1972. A bond was formed which lasts to this day.

Grammy award winning producer and Killing Joke bass player Martin 'Youth' Glover soon joined the band for one memorable Glastonbury and within a few months the stunning album 'Interstellar Energy' (on vinyl from Cadiz Records 2020) was written, recorded and produced, faithfully capturing the spirit and vibes and jamming of 1972 and showcasing Nik's amazing sax playing. Nik, Youth and Bruce were joined on the album by powerhouse Richard Lanchester on drums...a true veteran of the psych festival scene since 1970, firebrand Will Hughes on percussion and more bass, wizard Matt Smith on keyboards and the venerable Chris Barnett on Electric violin. In the last year, Basil Brooks, late of Gong and the Steve Hillage Band has joined on synths...and South London legend Phil du Mull on sax.

The band plays Glasto every year at the Mandala Stage as well as gigs in London and the South of England and continues to go from strength to strength. Nik plays with the Falcons whenever he can and his unique spirit and vibes live on in every line of every tune. The Space Falcons are ready for takeoff!

Rubber Bus

Veteran ambient dub outfit RUBBER BUS formed in the mid-1990s and shared international stages with the likes of Transglobal Underground, Loop Guru, Hawkwind, Here & Now and many more.

From summer 2019, original members Saul Yarg (electronics) and Just George (guitar loops) head up a new live version of the band with an emphasis on ambient space with new recruits Andy Roid (ex-Here & Now) on synthesisers and King Razor (GRUPPE!) on bass and electronics.

Writing in The Wire magazine, Byron Coley described their 2020 album Return To Reason as:
??an interesting handle on live electronics?early 60?s European electronic music?and a smidgen of Gong??

Guest musicians include Gregg McKella (Paradise 9) on tin clarinet, Tim Hawthorn (The Anarchetypes, Invisible Opera), Tony Two Dogs (Dreamcatcher) on drums and percussion, Nick Raybould (t.h.o.u.g.h.t.b.u.b.b.l.e) on percussion and Hope Schachter on flute and clarinet.

In the last year, Rubber Bus have been invited to perform at KozFest, Glastonbury PsychFest, Woodbridge Ambient Music Festival, New Avalon Ballroom, Glastonbury Assembly Rooms, Brighton?s Real Music Club and more.

Their latest albums, Visual Radio Arts Live, Noh Yogah and Return To Reason are available from their Bandcamp.
