Search the schedule - he's on the Mandala Stage every day from around midday and this year it's in honour of Arabella Churchill and Andrew Kerr.

Someone announced he was sick, but wasn't clear whether it was just that day or whether it was more serious and he couldn't make the festival at all? I managed a couple of tunes on Saturday lunchtime, one nice jam and one vocal epic. No sign of Nik Turner, but a whole load of driving musicians. Can anyone name any of them from these photos?

Sure him and Dave do not get on at all. He does front space ritual, which are mainly old Hawkwind members. Terry Ollis played drums for a young psych band this year, but for the life of me can't remember the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 In a time with a plethora of gnarly bands the fest is found really lacking, has to be said. Whomever is booking these type of bands needs to give the lads in Levitation a bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - you're right: having just done my Wikipedia homework, I've now learned about the machinations of Hawkwind, including the fact that Nik Turner left them long ago - before I ever saw them. I'm an unreliable witness when it comes to this sort of thing as I never used to read the album covers, let alone the music press, and rarely know the names of the members of the band I'm watching. You've probably saved me from an embarrassing confused discussion with my fellow audience members if I ever do make it to one of Nik Turner's Greenfield jams.

I saw 30 minutes of one of his Green Futures gigs, as they were billed as 'jams' it certainly seemed to be the case, no recognisable Hawkwind songs but he may have left them till later I guess....

Calvin Klein Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 I caught the last 15 minutes of JAMC and they were massive. I wish I was there from the beginning. Kikagaku Moyo were amazing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurosagi Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Yep, Utopia Strong put on a sublime show, I like it when a band's live set is better than their recorded stuff. Definitely now one on my list to catch live again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Lady and Man' from 13:30 should give you an idea -- runs for about 7 minutes. The guitarist is a fucking beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
