TIM BLAKE: Has emergency surgery

Hawkwind theremin player Tim Blake underwent emergency surgery last week after breaking his wrist when he fell off a ladder while gardening at home in France. Doctors inserted three pins in the wound. He aims to be back in action for the band's appearance at Rockin' The Park in Nottinghamshire, UK, next month.
