Hawkwind founder and bandleader Dave Brock has responded to the negative portrayal of his band in the recent BBC documentary Paul McCartney: The Hunt For The Lost Bass with anger and dismay, saying, “I was pissed off. This disrespects the band.”
First aired on BBC Two on April 11, the documentary looked into how McCartney’s first bass guitar – a Höfner 500/1 violin bass, which he’d bought in Hamburg during the Beatles’ residency there in 1961 – went missing.
