2nd April 2010. Huw and Richard (Bass player from LLG) have already raised £20k to cover costs of the Killing Cancer animation competition and the prizes in order that the Killing Cancer Charity do not use their valuable resources for their on-going work. We need to raised a further £2k so Huw has agreed to do a solo acoustic gig at the Banus Club in Weymouth on 2nd April 2010. Also top DJS from Dorset area have also added support and agreed to do the gig free. All proceeds go directly to Killing Cancer.

20th October 2007 - Space Rock Spectacular, Near Oxford, web site here. The Assassins of Silence organised this and Hawkwind regular Harvey Bainbridge and Bridget Wishart both played as well. Huw joined Xoo for their first gig, playing Moonglum and then took part in a rather horrible and 'unplanned' set with the other ex-Hawks and the Assassins. Things weren't helped by the main sound engineer for the evening being the Assassin's Dave, who obviously was on stage playing and helpless to intervene in the aural mess.... Ah well. Xoo were great, as were Underground Zero, both played a blinder.....
