Subject: [Mellotronists] First time

Or, Hawkwind Feb 72 would have been first, if they used tron on tour, same venue. Can't say I remember much about that one musically, but being 15 years old I was pretty well entertained by Stacia the dancer!

They only used one on their first two albums with Simon House, '74-5, though it's possible they used it live a little longer. I s'pose I should ask, seeing as how the band I'm in have suppoerted them several times...

Recent tron gigs I've seen; Julian Cope at Stoke-on-Trent and Musical Box at Wolves Civic.

Afraid The Musical Box were using a sampler in a Mellotron-shaped box (spot the four sounds during the set!). Saint Julian, on the other hand... :-)
