Who
Were Bedouin?
Bedouin were a classic three-piece band that successfully
fused traditional rock with subtle Arabic overtones.
Bedouin were; Alan Davey (Bass, Vocals & Keyboards),
Danny Thompson Jr. (drums) and Glenn Povey (guitars).
The band have went from strength to strength with
their own gigs and mini-tours, as well as appearing
at festivals such as the three-day 'HawkFest' in summer
2002, where they headlined on the opening day.

What's
the Band's History?
Both Alan and Danny first played with Hawkwind at
the Stonehenge Festival in 1984 and as a result went
on to join the band on the successful ‘Chronicle of
the Black Sword’ tour. The subsequent video release
was voted the “third best live act and rock video”
by Sounds in 1985. To date, Alan has spent over 16
years with Hawkwind, including playing on and writing
many of the songs on 'Space Bandits' which was number
one in Kerrang Magazine's indie rock chart for a Month.
In between performing on many subsequent Hawkwind
albums and touring with the band, he has also published
around 90 songs, and has some solo albums to his credit.
Danny is the son of Danny Thompson the world-renowned
bassist, and has been guesting again with Hawkwind
recently as their second drummer more

What
Does Bedouin Sound Like?
The
band's unique sound comes from the combination of
Danny's rock-jazz-tribal style, together with the
powerful, driving guitar of Glenn and powerhouse vocals
and bass of Ali. Added to this mix is a unique blend
of beautifully interwoven keyboards and synth waveforms,
which takes the listener to a state far beyond the
realms of ‘traditional’ rock bands. All of this produces
a high-energy, uplifting sound, which is extremely
powerful, yet somehow manages to be subtly melodic.
