| Re: Hawkwind Documentar on BBC
What you must remember, j d, is that the UK is small. I mean, compared with the USA it's tiny. As a result one radio station and one tv station can cover the entire country, and if you can get your music on those, you're away. We also don't have the dedicated music style stations that you have - the idea of a station that only played, say, country music was never even envisioned in this country. As a result, you don't have to repeat getting your act heard for all the myriad of tv and radio stations that you have over the country.
Historically,very few British bands have ever managed the feat of "Cracking the States",and these have been far more popular over here (the Beatles, Stones, etc), than Hawkwind ever was. |
