Nik Turner

Nik Turner is perhaps best known as the founding saxophone and flute player for pioneering "space rock" band Hawkwind.

Independent of his work with Hawkwind, Turner has an extensive performance history with his own bands such as Sphynx, Inner City Unit, and Space Ritual, and has perfomed and recorded with such artists as Farflung, the Stranglers, and Sting.
