A key presence in Hawkwind’ s line-up during the 1970s, Simon House brought an incredible palette of sonic colours to the band’s songs with his exciting and imaginative keyboard and violin work. Leaving to become a member of David Bowie’s live band, he went on to become an in-demand session player before rejoining Hawkwind again (twice) and releasing a series of solo albums. We pay tribute to House, who died at the end of May.
