Prog Magazine Issue 136 (January 2023) Hawkwind

Hawkwind's legendary live album Space Ritual celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2023, and was recorded on their eventful 1972 tour. We celebrate what is possibly the ultimate Hawkwind album in the new issue, and we also pay tribute to Nik Turner, the Mighty Thunder Rider, who sadly passed into another realm last month.

There are also brand new interviews with O.R.k., Voivod, Glass Hammer, Jack Hues and more... There's also the results of the 2022 Readers' Poll. Find out who won what inside!
