MY PROG HERO
JOHN ROBB
Inspiring the wider music world…
The Membranes bassist, journalist and author goes triple bad acid, yeah, when it comes to his adoration and respect of the mighty Hawkwind.

You’d better believe it:
John Robb has been into Hawkwind all these years.

I first heard Hawkwind when I was at school and Silver Machine came up on my radar. That was just the most unlikely hit from a band that’s not meant to have a hit. I don’t know who was more surprised: them or their audience! And suddenly they’d made it, which did bring about additional pressures; you could trace Lemmy’s eventual exit from the band because of that massive hit.
