Check out the brand new Wolfsheart Acoustic Trio album “The Orpheum
Tapes”.
For this experience, they opened the door to a venue in Vienna called the
Orpheum. The band went there for a live recording - but without any audience,
because of the Corona pandemic.
A treasured moment in a strange time.
They entered the stage, gathered in a circle and let the energy flow. With
strong and vital emotion, reflecting their very own way of improvisation. A
step from one idea to the next spark.
"Scarborough Fair" is the new single from the new album.
This traditional folk-ballad was originally breathing a celtic feel. They added
the Native American flute and the atmospheric flavour of the hang. So different
worlds become one: An ancient place experiences the energy of a rock formation.

World, which they’ll be performing a brand-new version of.
Hawkwind formed in 1969 by Dave Brock who still remains at the helm today. In 1970 the band played at the first ever Glastonbury Festivals, released their eponymously titled debut album and created their own new music genre called “Space Rock”.
The 1972 'Space Ritual' Tour featured contributions from sci-fi author Michael Moorcock, poet Bob Calvert, designer Barney Bubbles and lighting engineer Liquid Len creating a truly multimedia experience. This has set the bar for every Hawkwind show since.
Original member Lemmy left to form Official Motörhead in 1975, and Hawkwind have since gone on to become a massively influential group and have released more than 50 albums.
