We seem to have lost so many of "our" musicians this year.

A very sad loss, rest in peace Huw.

If I'm allowed a bit of blog whoring, here are some highlights of Huw's career:

Obituary - Huw Lloyd Langton

I learnt yesterday that one of my favourite guitar players passed away. Huw Lloyd Langton got notorious through his work with Hawkwind, a collaboration that spanned a good number of decades. Master of spacey reverbs and long improvisations, he could create dense atmospheres but still produce songs for more straightforward listeners. I never had the opportunity to see Huw playing live, and now I'm sure I never will. Folk that worked with him paint a personality of kindness and openness, someone pleasant to do music with. Good bye Huw, you'll be missed.

Enjoy.

Awful news....but he'll live on through his work on so many fascinating Hawkwind albums beloved by fans.

Having said I saw him with Hawkwind live a couple of times in the Eighties.  There was one time I didn't see him with Hawkwind in the Eighties!  In 1981 I went to see them at Peterborough and it turned out when they came on stage there was no Huw.  Apparently, a little before the gig he had got into an argument with some geezer and the said geezer lamped him one.  Broke his nose.Just before the gig he had to go into hospital as his nose started bleeding and would n't stop.  So no Huw.  (Ginger was at the back though so that was interesting)

I did catch him next time round though.  RIP

you need Hall Of The Mountain King and Warrior On The Edge Of Time ASAP!!!!

also this is sad, rip. I remember Langton had a really funny story in the BBC documentary on Hawkwind. They were playing in one of those inflated room things and the generator broke down so the whole place was slowly collapsing as everyone freaked out inside. he said he felt like he was descending into hell as he walked down to the stage and then the acid got too much and he ended up on his knees praying to god for safety cause he though the was gonna die. later one one of the bandmates told him how they liked his little praying trick and they thought it was really neat and effective and Langton was like "he didn't understand that I reaaally meant, I was really praying there!" hahaha gave me a good chuckle when i watched that part

There isn't a thread here yet so I figured I'd post one. Passed away earlier this week. There are almost definitely bigger Hawkwind fans here than me who can post their commiserations, so I'll leave it to them.


I don't really have much to say about it. I'll just leave my favourite recording of my favourite Hawkwind song, which he played on
