Richard Hugh "Huw" Lloyd-Langton (6 February 1951 – 6 December 2012) was an English musician, best known as the guitarist for the rock band Hawkwind[1] at various times.
[1] He continued performing with Hawkwind until 1988, after which he made occasional guest appearances, then rejoined for a brief spell in 2001-2002 until ill health (Legionnaires' disease) forced him to leave once more.
He sometimes played solo as an acoustic support act for Hawkwind, including at The Brook in Southampton in December 2009.
Acoustic slots at English charity (playing for free) and space rock events were also common throughout this decade.
Lloyd-Langton's health had been generally poor for a decade and he was quite frail, with several broken bones and minor injuries (rarely letting fans down though - he once played a gig with a broken arm, reworking his solos on the fly so that he could play them in one area of the guitar neck).
