Robert Calvert (9 March 1945 - 14 August 1988) was a talented artist who made significant contributions to the legendary space rock band Hawkwind. Known for his poetry, lyrics, and vocals, Calvert played a pivotal role in five of Hawkwind's most critically acclaimed albums, including Space Ritual (1973), Quark, Strangeness & Charm (1977), and 25 Years On/Hawklords (1978). In addition to his work with Hawkwind, Calvert also released several solo albums between 1974 and 1986.

Throughout his career, Robert Calvert collaborated with various notable artists such as Catapilla, Mother Gong, and Steve Hillage. His unique saxophone playing added depth and richness to their music. Influenced by the likes of Gong and Amon Düül II, Calvert's style resonated with fans of progressive rock.

Although he tragically passed away due to a heart attack in 1988 at the age of 43, Robert Calvert's artistic legacy continues to inspire musicians today. Fans of Hawklords, Hawkwind Light Orchestra, Daevid Allen, Arthur Brown, Kevin Ayers,and many others will appreciate the innovative spirit that defined Calvert's musical career.
