Did you know: Former Hawkwind members Robert Calvert, Nik Turner and Michael Davies lived in Margate and all worked at Dreamland. The seed for Hawkwind was born from conversations about what their band would be like. They lived at what is now The Reading Rooms.
Robert Calvert was also a member of band The Third Eye, alongside David Bowie (then Davy Jones), prior to his time with Hawkwind.
