[ROCK] Nik Turner is one odd dude. Like, Ginger Baker-odd, but maybe not as cantankerous. Tuner led the legendary space-prog outfit Hawkwind through its most celebrated and commercially successful period (often in full makeup and bizarro outfits — think Rick Wakeman with an ethnic bent) before getting axed by front man Dave Brock in 1976. He’d rejoin and get fired again just a few years later. Known for his free-form woodwind playing, Turner, now 75, is touring Hawkwind material to support the release of his new Space Fusion Odyssey project as well as a book, “The Spirit of Hawkwind.” It’s bound to be a memorable affair at Mohawk Place on Saturday, November 28 with Hedersleben and Handsome Jack.
