Spaceritual.net and Tractor/The Way We Live live at the Glastonbury Festival, Thursday 27th June, 2002!
The Greasy Truckers Party on the Road 2002 featuring spaceritual.net

on Thursday 27th June.
From the original Hawkwind line-up that played Glastonbury Fayre,
the band features Nik Turner (sax, flute, vox), Dave Anderson (guitar), Thomas Crimble (bass), and Terry Ollis (drums), joined by Mick Slattery on guitar. Dave Anderson played guitar at Glastonbury Fayre, subbing for Dave Brock who was unwell.
Special Report
The Ozit/Morpheus Records and Nikt Records' "Greasy Truckers Party On The Road 2002" hit Glastonbury Festival's Greenfield site on Thursday 27th July when the Croissant Neuf Big Top and Field outside was filled to capacity and the first major musical performances at Glastonbury 2002 took place.
The Croissant Neuf Big Top was immediately jammed to capacity when Andy Hope let the public in and the crowds were ten to twenty deep all around the outside of the tent; Tractor took to the stage at 9:30 and performed a storming set with Jim Milne on acoustic guitar and vocals and Steve Clayton on drum kit and congas and they
performed around 40 minutes of music and received rapturous applause at the end of every number. Thirty years since their classic Dandelion Records album, they come to Glastonbury for the first time and stormed the crowd!
After a quickish stage change, spaceritual.net took to the stage to excited,
emphatic and enthusiastic applause: the basic four-piece of Nik Turner - sax, flute and vocals, and 'Alien Space Suit' Thomas Crimble - bass guitar, Mick Slattery - guitar, Terry Ollis - drums, were joined by Sam Ollis on drums, Commander Jim Hawkman - keyboards and twiddly noises, two exotic dancers, Adrian Pearson on congas, Thomas Hewitt on electric guitar, Jackie on percussion, Richard Lanchester on percussion and African drummer Ben Baddoo.
Thanks also to Joe "The Hat" Brian, the photographer, Melissa (also photographer), Sally Howell, Andy Hope and all the Croissant Neuf crew!
spaceritual.net played two hours plus of early Hawkwind material and the
crowd were ecstatic. Watch out for spaceritual.net at Guildford Festival and more dates for the Greasy Truckers Party On The Road 2002 with
