DAVIDW 1,690 Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Not a band I know much about but my pal ,whose wife works in a care home in Cornwall, just informed me that Simon House, violinist and composer of the Hawkwind band was now a resident in the home . Apparently Simon was born in Nottingham in 1948 . My pal asked me if I knew of him but I've never heard the Nottingham connection with the band . Anyone know of him?

Cliff Ton 10,483 Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 I knew of him when he was a member of Hawkwind in the 70s. I liked them in the early years but lost track of them in later times. I didn't know (or didn't remember I knew) that he was a Nottingham person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_House 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,690 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Can't say he was born there but earlier in 1939 Simon's parents were living 9 Clandon Drive off Waldeck Rd, Carrington. His father Herbert A House born 1913 was listed as a "musician", mother Dorothy House (nee Mosley). Theres an article in the Nottm Guardian from 1969 reporting that Simon House (still of Clandon Drive) had joined a band called High Tide. It also said that prior to university he had attended High Pavement Grammar School. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
