Next up on my (music) reading pile: ‘Rock and Role: The Visionary Songs of Peter Hammill and Van der Graaf Generator’ by Joe Banks.

I enjoyed Banks’s book about Hawkwind, so I’m looking forward to digging into this one. I was interested to read in one of PH’s recent newsletters that he’d not been interviewed for the book - it’s unclear whether that was Hammill’s decision or the author’s…

As it happens, I'm on a bit of a Hawkwind cycle at the moment, which happens every few years, spurred on this time by reading the superb Days Of The Underground (and companion volume Sideways Through Time) by Joe Banks from a few years back.

I thought I knew quite a bit about the band and its various incarnations and offshoots, but, well, let’s just say Joe knows a LOT more.
