I was happy surpised to receive at the end of March 2025 an e-mail from the editorial desk of PROG MAG (Future Publishing UK) if I was OK to let them use a couple of my Hawkwind photo’s for a coming article about the making of Hawkwinds ‘Warrior On The Edge of Time’. Of course I was fine with that and glad to see international attention on my photo catalogue this time on the Hawkwind gig at De Doelen (venue) in Rotterdam on 26.06.1974 in the old line-up with Lemmy, Ms Stacia, Dave Brock and Nik Turner etc. I still have clear memories of that night. It was the first time I’d seen the band live and was positioned against the stage the whole show. I photographed with a color slide film which was pretty unusual for a pop photographer at that time and used my Nikkormat camera with a Nikkor 50mm F 2 lens a big grey (!) professional Metz flitser. I loved the band, the energy and dancing of Stacia right before me … also pretty special was the support act show of American singer, movie actor, percussionist, guitarist and Unofficial member of Hawkwind Mr. Al Matthews … see the photo’s in my photo gallery >>
