Hawklords

Active between 1978 and 1979, Hawklords were an offshoot from a recently disbanded Hawkwind and originally featured Hawkwind members Robert Calvert, Dave Brock and Simon King with the addition of Harvey Bainbridge, Martin Griffin and ex-Pilot keyboard player Steve Swindells.

By 1979, Steve Swindells and Robert Calvert had left, whilst Dave Brock, Simon King and Harvey Bainbridge were joined by Huw Lloyd-Langton and Tim Blake in 1979 in a newly reformed Hawkwind.

In 2009, the Hawklords re-formed without Dave Brock, consisting of ex-members Steve Swindells, Martin Griffin and Harvey Bainbridge and joined by other ex-Hawkwind members such as Nik Turner, Alan Davey, Adrian Shaw, Jerry Richards, Ron Tree, Terry Ollis and is set to also include Bridget Wishart.

Since 2012, they have become a fully fledged ongoing band with Jerry Richards at the helm. Having now trademarked the band name, he can be rightly viewed as the guiding force behind the albums that have come out between then and now. Performing regular tours all over the UK, they can justifiably be seen as one of the leading space-rock bands in the UK in their own right.
