[[Pretty Things]] guitarist [[Dick Taylor]] was brought in to produce the 1970 debut album ''Hawkwind''. Although it was not a commercial success, it did bring them to the attention of the [[UK underground]] scene, which found them playing free concerts, benefit gigs, and festivals. Playing free outside the [[Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music|Bath Festival]], they encountered another [[Ladbroke Grove]]–based band, the [[Pink Fairies]], who shared similar interests in music and [[Recreational drug use|recreational substances]]; a friendship developed which led to the two bands becoming running partners and performing as "Pinkwind". Their use of drugs, however, led to the departure of Harrison, who did not partake, to be replaced briefly by [[Thomas Crimble (musician)|Thomas Crimble]] (about July 1970 – March 1971). Crimble played on a few BBC sessions (which were eventually collected on the album ''[[The Text of Festival]]'') before leaving to help organise the Glastonbury Free Festival 1971; he sat in during the band's performance there.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nikturner.com/tirnanog/glastonbury2010.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110518105343/http://www.nikturner.com/tirnanog/glastonbury2010.html|url-status=dead|title=Nik Turner – Glastonbury, 40 Years On|archive-date=18 May 2011}}</ref> Lloyd-Langton also quit, after a bad [[LSD]] trip at the [[Isle of Wight Festival 1970|Isle of Wight Festival]] led to a [[nervous breakdown]].<ref>Mojo, September 1999 – The Egos Have Landed – [http://www.starfarer.net/intvw999.html www.starfarer.net] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314035625/http://www.starfarer.net/intvw999.html |date=14 March 2012}}</ref>

December 2006 saw the official departure of Alan Davey, who left to perform and record with two new bands: Gunslinger and Thunor. He was replaced by Mr Dibs, a long-standing member of the road crew. The band performed at their annual Hawkfest festival and headlined the US festival Nearfest and played gigs in PA and NY. At the end of 2007, [[Tim Blake]] once again joined the band filling the lead role playing keyboards and [[theremin]]. The band played five Christmas dates, the London show being released as an audio CD and video DVD under the title ''[[Knights of Space]]''.
