Pointed out to me by member of family - doesn't appear to have been highlighted here, but perhaps mentioned in another thread somewhere, so apologies if it has.

For anyone interested Freeview's Sky Arts Channel currently has a Hawkwind film from the 1984 solstice festival at Stonehenge and with over two hours still to run.
As per the song currently playing, altogether now "We're angels of life, we're angels of death etc! "
I suspect it's going to be a late night for me. Now where are those painkillers that give such a wonderful psychotropic effect!

Nice one. I think I have the DVD of that.
Now, Tom and his pal Kevin who have just joined us as members have made a "wee song just up on youtube about our megalithic adventures released only a couple of days ago"

Member BigTam posts: 'Hard rock' Stonefeelers Song.
A hopefully amusing wee song and slide show taking in some of the many sites we've visited and enjoyed over the years. We hope you enjoy something in the music or the pics!
See above in the music thread for a different take on this from us.

I don't think we've mentioned Nik Turner's band Sphynx.
Sphynx played several gigs in 1978, notably at an impromptu version of the Glastonbury festival that doesn’t even make it into the official history. Nevertheless, there are photographs on the BBC website of Sphynx performing there.
The author continues: They also appeared the following year. Nik Turner told me, “The BBC commissioned me to do a performance of my Sphynx show at Glastonbury. Around the same time, I’d been putting Inner City Unit together, and in the evening after we’d done the Sphynx show, we got a bit bored, so we got ICU (Inner City Unit) out and started blasting away with that..."
Hawkfan Oz Hardwick recalled that part of the Glastonbury Sphynx recording had appeared in a programme about reincarnation, in which Nik was also interviewed. Hawkfan Bill Barwick identified the programme as I Have Seen Yesterday, broadcast on BBC1 on 5 August 1980. In a disparaging review that appeared in The Guardian the next day, Nancy Banks-Smith noted that Nyk (sic) "conducted his interview dressed as a mummy" and that The Sphinx (sic) featured "assorted mummies and a lead singer wearing a yellow leotard and a bird mask".
OK this isn't directly music and only has a sideways ancient sites reference but anything featuring Jimmy Cauty (artist and half of the KLF etc) is usually worth a look.
And indeed he delivered. From Advanced Acoustic Armaments 1995 - 1997

A piece from the debut 'Great North Star' album, the genesis of which, I started writing at 'Wet Withens' stone circle, Eyam Moor, a number of years ago.

New album by memotone - Clever Dog
Will Yates is a Northern Earther and has a deep discography to explore, we've featured him before as O. G. Jigg - The Land Dictates the Lay of the Stone
Not sure if any of this one is specifically ancient sites inspired but it's in the same (rock) vein with titles like The Bridge and the Bend, The River Slows to a Stop, Walker's Stone and Birds of the Rock

There is the classic Ultravox video.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NL3CNiKtaYY Not sure it was inspired by stones but certainly interesting.
AB: (adding video embed) Well it's set right in the middle of Calanais so that's good enough! I'd forgotten about that one - thanks.
