The Master of the Universe
Nick played the re-furbished Borderline, and gave a blinding performance, with plenty of honesty and humour. 77-years-old and still rocking. He played a mix of Hawkwind and his own songs, Master of The Universe, Brainstorm, Orgone Accumulator, D-Rider, from the old daze. His vocals are brutally bad, but he didn't care and it didn't matter, his saxophone playing was excellent. I had the pleasure of meeting Nik before the show and he signed my ticket. I told him that I saw Hawkwind in 1973 at Wembley, my first ever gig and he smiled. He was a true gentleman. Overall, a great gig for old Hawkwind freaks that want to see the old master in action, but I guess maybe not recommended for others.
